That corral's where we keep the liberals: President Bush shows off his Crawford, Texas, ranch to the Israeli prime minister -- coincidentally on the same day that the media report the president's iPod playlist includes "My Sharona."
It's bad enough when leftist creative-types, protesters and Democrats claim, seemingly straight-faced, that "Bush=Hitler." Though the Chron's a bit more subtle, the implied equivalence between Bush/Sharon and the Nazi dictator is irresponsible and outrageous, especially from a major daily paper. Especially because, as the latest Cox & Forkum illustrates, the Palestinians themselves have been the obstruction to peace with Israel:
Cox & Forkum, April 12th
Affirming their barbarity, terrorists in Iraq once again kidnapped an unarmed innocent (47 year old Jeffrey Ake from LaPorte, Indiana), brainwashed and terrorized him, and plan his beheading, recorded on video. Mr. Ake's "crime"?--bringing bottled water to the desert.
No humane or thoughtful person should support this. Iraqi's don't either, says -- poetically -- Ali at A Free Iraqi:
Two years now and "they" still wonderIf reason, humanity and the Iraqi people all counsel continuing the war on terror, why are liberals -- particularly those in San Francisco -- so convinced we're wrong?
And "they" still ask Was it worth it?
Was it right?
Two years and it seems to me Like it was yesterday
Two years and "they" keep trying
To silence the voice inside us
Yet it only grows louder
I was once free When I was a kid
But when I grew up
I couldn't be the man I am
I couldn't be the kid I was
And I couldn't flee
Two years since I finally became
The man in me, and the kid in me.
And "they" want to take this away?
"They" would have to kill them both first
The man and the kid
And turn the clock back around
And still "they" can't change me back
Two years since I stopped weeping
Inside of me, day and night
Two years since the widow
Found her husband's body
In a feast of death for the human death lord.
Two years since the orphan
knew Where his father lied
And now they finally have peace
And they have a future
No matter how painful it is to go on
And their dreams still go on
Two years since I started dreaming
Dreams that have a chance
And are becoming true
Two years since I regained my heart
And then I found her...
And she found me...
And the world looked beautiful!
And "they" think they can separate us?!
Think again, or keep wishing.
"They" say we are being slaughtered
"They" say we are being abused
Am I blind or are "they" the ones who are sightless?!
As why can't I see what "they" see?
And the best "they" can offer of their view is Maybe I'm a CIA?
Or maybe the other "they", that of their accusations is paying me?
But who is their accused and rumored "they"?
Oh, the accusers have so many names for this other "they".
Sometimes they're the CIA
Sometimes they're the NSA
Sometimes they're Bush and the gang
I say, yes they exist and they "pay" me, and I'm seduced.
I see with my own eyes this other "they"
And I call them simply, Americans.
What are they paying me?
Oh, you couldn't afford that!
Saddam couldn't afford it.
Sadr cannot afford it.
"They" think any of these can?
Could their "they" even try!?
Two years and some are still
Trapped in the past
And some cannot withstand the moment
And want to arrive without struggle to a better future
While others just enjoy what is already better now
And work to meet the future, bettered with them.
Two years and they ask Should I be grateful?
Am I?
Do I even need to answer that!?
YES, and to the last breath!

The real question is: why was Jeffrey Ake unarmed? Why did he have inadequate security? He should have known he was a tempting target for terrorists...
The naive attitude displayed by people never ceases to amaze me. Kidnapping is not a new tactic over there. Why aren't people taking measures to prevent it?
