  5. Well, the liberals were worried obsessively over what the Arab Street would think about the Iraq invasion, and now we have the answer…

    How many times must the Left find themselves on the wrong side of history before they finally wake up and get a frickin’ clue?

    And, speaking of “the Arab street,” we haven’t heard much about that lately, have we? Christopher Hitchens posted a great article today at Slate that might explain why.  Check it out…

  6. How many times must the Left find themselves on the wrong side of history before they finally wake up and get a frickin’ clue?

    They won’t. The best chance we have is to keep peeling off the more clueful lefties at the margin, and make the rest of them ever more irrelevant.

  7. *Muzyad Yakhoob, must also be smiling. Muzyad Yakhoob you say? An American television and film actor of Lebanese descent, was born in Deerfield, Michigan.

    He founded St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee in 1962. His children are also performers, the most famous being his daughter Marlo.

    *Oh yeah, asterisk explained…Muzyad Yakhoob, AKA…. Danny Thomas

    Go for it Lebanon…the Iraqi’s did, now it’s your turn.

  8. The naysayers and pessimistic prognosticators of the impact of the Bush doctrine have another disconfirmation of their misunderestimation of the unredefeated President and his vision for change in the Middle East.

  10. Richard… I cacked myself after that.

    ed: I think we need a misunderestimated nukular strategery, that would kick some major ass.

  11. democracy in the middle east is quicker than quick and slicker than slick - it’s sleekism.

  12. Strange how the Arabs don’t get pissed off at all the other people who have carved off bits (most of them bigger than Israel) of the now mythical Palestine. Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. Iraq? It’s just the Jews that cop the flak. They who, after all, did have a pretty good claim to this bit they now (again) live in.
    The Lebanese need to look to their own security and purge the elements which continue to use their land as a launching pad for Trouble.

  13. A worried NYT [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/01/opinion/01tue1.html]http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/01/opinion/01tue1.html [/url] cautions the Bush administration Washington’s challenge now lies in finding ways to nurture and encourage these still fragile trends without smothering them in a triumphalist embrace.

    There is a backhanded compliment to Australia, crediting the boomerang effect <i>If Damascus had a hand in this murder, as many Lebanese suspect, it had a boomerang effect on Lebanon’s politics.</i

  14. Washington’s challenge now lies in finding ways to nurture and encourage these still fragile trends without smothering them in a triumphalist embrace.

    I have yet to hear or see any “triumphalist embraces” out of any part of this administration. The only such embraces have come from the MSM when any tiny bit of OIF has been difficult.

    The challenge is not Washington’s, but the MSM’s, if Middle East peace and democratization hits a setback or two. How quickly they will they be able to whip out Der Schwimmer’s quagmire?

    It must be much to Kerry’s dismay that OIF was exactly the right war at the right place at the right time!

  15. Why hasnt the media run with this story?  Not a word on the ABC, only SBS dateline covered it.

    Too much good news?
