Actions Should Have Consequences. All of Them
This is sad, but likely very true. It’s a fair bet that no high-powered American law firm will lend a caring hand to the relatives of the seven Iraqis murdered last month by a suicide bomber named Abdullah Salih Al Ajmi and two accomplices. That’s too bad, seeing as how Ajmi was himself a beneficiary [...]
Meet the “Most Powerful Man in Iraq”. He Isn’t Iraqi.
I”m at a bit of a loss to describe this article from the McClatchy News Service. On one hand, I’m given to discounting much of what comes from McClatchy as biased and distorted, because it generally is. On the other hand, it is one of the most solid articles on Iraq I’ve read by anyone [...]

Coming Soon: Muslim Standard Time
Okay, so let me get this right. We get really fired up about some school board in Kansas that wants to teach Intelligent Design? That is, I suppose, because hordes of roving Kansans with the belief that God actually set evolution in motion is an existential threat to the republic. Meanwhile, only a few dozen [...]
