Glenn is catching hell all over the Internet for this post today.
I always wondered how long it would take somebody to come right out and say something, which, as you know, has been pretty self-evidently obvious for a long time. The Pals are our enemies, and make it clear in everything they say and do. When's the last time they even pretended to cooperate with an American initiative? When the Americans said, step one of the Road Map is 'end terrorism', did they even pay lip service to the idea? They just trade on the fact that they've got Israelis for their enemies, and the the sympathies of everybody who doesn't like America or the Jews (that's a lot of people), and you know, all their "brother" Arabs care so much, etc., etc.
But the WOT is making many Americans take a closer look at the Mideast, and suddenly they notice who is leading the Pals, and they don't like what they see.
A while back, the Israeli author of Ribbity Blog happened to notice an old pre Sept 11 blog entry on Little Green Footballs, where Charles Johnson said of the Israeli/Pal conflict, a pox on both their houses, let them fight out their border conflicts, why should I care? Now Charles sees the matter very differently - now that he's suffered at the hands of Islamist extremism and he's looked and seen how influential it is among the Pals. |
