I hope this goes smoothly but the redirect promises to be a real pain in the ass since I insisted on using Frontpage so many years ago when I started my original games site.

What about the Shiites until 9/11 they killed more AmericansWahhabism solely to blame for Islams Radicalism?
Anyone who has read this blog for any length of time, and there are a couple of you thanks, knows how fond I am of the President's habit of saying that Islam has been hijacked. As if Islam's history of murder and mayhem can be swept away by merely not mentioning them.

Israel, France, China, Iran to HezbollahBecause irony abounds in the Middle East it is worth noting that the design path of the missile which hit Israel began in Israel. This is not to say that Israel sold the missile to the terrorists themselves. No indeed not.

While the massive bombardment of Germany and Japan did not cause them to surrender it certainly wasn't irrelevant. And it is worth noting that both did indeed surrender.
The idea that this latest bunch of Islamic fanatics are somehow more able to sustain attacks than the Japanese or Germans is hard tofalsePierre Legrand2006-07-15T07:39:00-05:002006-07-15T12:56:21Z2006-07-15T12:39:45Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403104.post-115296718543500965Missile used against Israeli ship was developed in China
The C-802 Cruise Missile that Israeli officers believe was used in attacking the Israeli ship off the coast of Lebanon was developed by the Chinese who then sold the technology to the Iranians. This sort of missile can be equipped with terminal guidance to increase accuracy.
This was no light the fuse and watch the fireworks rocket of the sort that most of these terrorists are able to operate.falsePierre Legrand2006-07-14T12:01:00-05:002006-07-14T17:06:09Z2006-07-14T17:01:14Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403104.post-115289647488375096The war is not about Palestinian RightsCharles Krauthammer skirts close to the reasons for this war against Israel but he never directly names it.
