My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Explain This To Me

So today the bad guys blow up kids and throw a feint/ambush at the Marines in Fallujah. Kids. On their way to school. 18 of them, last count. Ten Kindergarteners.

So why, exactly, are we so damn concerned about the delicate sensibilities of the Arab street? Why, exactly, are we demonstrating such restraint in and around Fallujah? As near as I can tell, the "Arab street" doesn't give a damn about the lives of children and innocents going about their day; what makes us think the "Arab street" will rebel against decisive action against the people who kill their children?

Up is down; down is up. One of the so-called "moderate" Islamics had better make themselves known to the American media or the stereotypes are going to harden like cement.
