The recent violence against Israel by Hamas is yet more evidence against the usual liberal policy of appeasment toward those who want nothing less than your total destruction.
Here's the predictable lies from the perpertrators: "Hamas blamed Israel and said it fired rockets on Israeli border towns in retaliation." Thank God for this bit of honesty, at least: "But the Palestinian Authority said the blast was an accident resulting from militants mishandling explosives."
That's what you get for trying to negotiate with terrorists, more terror.
For those of us who grew up watching the short-lived but long-remembered Gilligan's Island, we realized only later what a fond and talented homage was being given to The Boys.
And Bob Denver reincarnated Stan Laurel's innocence and humility as lovingly as the long-suffering mentorship of Alan Hale Jr.'s Oliver Hardy.
The first couple episodes, with Gilligan and the Skipper trying to sail a raft to find help and then trying to repair the S.S.Minnow shortly after shipwreck are nearly as funny as almost anything The Boys ever did.
That more Iraqi citizens would be killed in one non-military exercise of religious freedom (though this particular practice had been allowed and is part of the Muslim tradition) than in any war related event is indeed as ironic as it is tragic. And, predictably, one of Muqtada al-Sadr's supporters would be quick to blame the new government, which he opposes, for the high death toll after the panic-driven stampede in 110-degree heat amongst a religious procession of about one million Shiites on Wednesday.Furthermore, it was probably one of his boys that ignited the whole thing.
And, coincidently, the natural disaster of hurricane Katrina has caused more widespread and costly devastation than the worst attack on our country. And Cindy Sheehan is predictably irritated that she's been bumped off the front page, so she's got to blame President Bush for the hurricane, further demonstration that she is not of sound mind.
Then Robert Kennedy Jr. has to even further embarass the Democrats with his fever swamp accusations. "Well, the science is clear. This month, a study published in the journal Nature bya(that's ONE) renowned MIT climatologist linked the increasing prevalence of destructive hurricanes to human-induced global warming." (Hey, Bobby Jr., we puny human beings are too insignificant to effect the globe like this!)
"Now we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged. Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and--now--Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children."(What an embarassment! If his name wasn't Kennedy, he'd be busing tables in some vegan deli in Greenwich Village.)
And to think that he knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was an uncle of his. "Congressman, you're no Jack Kennedy." (Thank you, Lloyd Bentsen)
