Iraq the Model takes on the "let's leave now" argument. Given that he's there and I'm here. I'm going to guess that he has a better image of the average Iraqis opinion than me...or say Maureen Dowd.

The inconvenient Serbs and how they keep getting in the way of Muslim domination of Christendom. Things are a bit different today but it's interesting from an historical perspective.


The Convert is a very interesting story. It's about faith, money, friends, law and fraud. Really an amazing story. Read the whole thing.

Recruiting Jihadis in Jail. This has been going on for ages in the States. Small wonder they're replicating that model elsewhere.

20 years in Chinese prison. Beat that Jack Bauer!

It's almost like there's a race to the bottom (if you'll pardon the pun) to see who can come up with the most daft proposal for "saving the problem".

More Green hypocrisy here
and here. When celebrities voluntarily give up private jets I'll think about listening to anything they'll have to say about being green.

Internal conflict in Iran. Interesting to see that they're not as monolithic as they appear to be from a distance. Is there a rational wing of the Iranian government?

Brutal indictment from Villainous Company. Not for the squeamish.

Red Sox fans are all class


Chavez is a great guy so says our local neo-Stalinist leftist blog [name redacted]. Other local bloggers view him as not too bad, just misunderstood. How 'bout this one:


Venezuela's government will require workers to spend four hours a week in ``socialist formation'' classes, and is mandating employers form ``Bolivarian Work Councils'' to run courses on the job, El Universal reported, citing Labor and Social Security Minister Jose Ramon Rivero.

The classes will first be held only in public sector jobs, beginning with a pilot program at the nation's Labor Ministry, and will later spread to private businesses, after President Hugo Chavez decrees a law outlining re-education guidelines and rules, the newspaper said.





Democrats and the war. Barone shows that the Democrats are playing politics of the first order. They're trying to paint the war as a failure without actually losing it or defunding it. A very dangerous game. One crack in that story and the whole thing can come crashing down.

Excerpt:

The commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, returns to Washington this week, but last week Pelosi's office said "scheduling conflicts" prevented him from briefing House members. Two days later, the members-only meeting was scheduled, but the episode brings to mind the fact that Pelosi and other top House Democrats skipped a Pentagon videoconference with Petraeus March 8.


Christian flash mob protest. The look on his face is absolutely priceless. It's so bad, he begs them to stay and when that doesn't work, he ridicules them. How brave.

American Thinker is fast becoming essential reading. Just keep scrolling.
