Jed Babbin on why the EU is NATO’s greatest enemy.
And now, in the “Stupid” category:
The Palestinians just keep betting on the wrong horse.
Muslims overstated
In this article on the reliability (or lack thereof) of CAIR polls, Howard Fienberg makes this interesting observation:
[CAIR] also continues to insist that, “There are an estimated seven million Muslims in America,” based on its 2000 survey of mosques, while a STATS investigation in November estimated the number is closer to about two million, give or take a few hundred thousand.
Huh. Imagine that. A pressure group overstating its numbers.

UPDATE: Stupid me. In my haste to make sure the population article was linked, I forgot to link the polling article 🙂
High Terror Alert
We appear to have escalated to an Orange level (“High”) alert, according to Fox News. Ashcroft was just on Fox talking about it.
Postings are light
because the guy who was supposed to be front-line product support conveniently decided to be sick. So guess who got stuck doing front-line product support for a bunch of technically-impaired moron customers. (Well, some of them aren’t morons or technically-impaired. But the vast majority today seem to be.)

of course, needs no introduction here. Go read.

SUGGESTION FOR BUSH’S UN SPEECH [Jonah Goldberg]
Here’s how Bush should begin his speech to the UN on Thursday…
“Let me explain why we bombed Iraq yesterday….”
You tell ’em, Jonah.
The upcoming election MUST be about the war.
The Democrats won’t prosectute it; they’ll mealy-mouth around until a nuke goes off in New York, or Chicago, or (hmm) Bezerkley.
Only the Republicans currently have the moral clarity to wage the war that needs waging. The Democrats are morally bankrupt and don’t have a clue.
Today’s “liberals” are hypocrites
This is from Best of the Web today (scroll down, it’s the last item):
‘My Public Spirit Stops at My Daughter’
In a letter to the editor of the Washington Post, one April Falcon Doss explains why she chose to send her daughter to a private school:For a card-carrying liberal, I was surprisingly unapologetic about our decision. Why should I sacrifice our daughter’s future to an abstract principle? I wasn’t up to battling the school system about class size, curriculum and extracurricular activities. And by the time any changes could be made, our daughter would have already missed out on a vibrant education
Here in a nutshell is the definition of an American liberal: one who is willing to sacrifice the future of other people’s children to an abstract principle.
Amen.
