I just heard Tom Ridge say on Fox that “I don’t feel [emphasis editor] that pilots should have guns in the cockpits…”
Yeah, that’s the problem. Too many government boobacrats, like you and Norm Mineta, are making decisions on feelings, instead of thought.
I hope the pilots strike over this.

Here lies indisputable proof, that anyone, regardless of intelligence level or lack of a shift key, can start a weblog.
I see that Instapundit is still talking about Hashemite restoration.
From the Jerusalem Post article he cites:
The answer is to dismember Iraq, create an independent Kurdistan in its northern third, which could be viable with the oil reserves in that area, and give the southern two-thirds to Jordan, as payment for its readiness to incorporate the Palestinian territories. That would constitute a fulfillment of the post-World War I dream of the Hashemites – who were driven out of Hejaz by the Saudis – to rule a major kingdom from the Jordan River in the West to the border of Iran to the east.
That’s all well and good, but the problem is, the Turks have their own Kurdish separatist problem, and I can’t see them being willing to go along with any deal that creates an independent Kurdistan–it would be too destabilizing in eastern Turkey. There’s got to be some kind of deal sweetener for them, too.

An alert reader notes that my title is mistaken. The capital is, of course, not Instanbul, but Ankara.
Hindus methodically firebombed and electrocuted an entire village of Muslims in India.
There’s a good article in today’s Boston Globe on the Saudi connection to 911. It’s the first of a three-part series. However, it does come off as apologizing for the regime, to a certain extent.
While I don’t believe that what happened on September 11 was intended by the Saudis, it is a result of their misbegotten and tyrannical policies–not ours.
Obviously, the media (most likely as a tag team with the Daschleites who are trying to damage Bush’s war popularity), has decided to float the “why do they hate us” trial balloon again.
Both Meet The Press and This Week featured the Gallup poll of the Arab countries that showed how disengaged from reality they are. At least Russert balanced Arab apologist Jim Zogby with Krauthammer, who made the key point, “we were the ones attacked–they should be asking themselves ‘why do they hate us?'”
This Week double teamed the issue (no balance at all), with a reporter from Al Jazeera and some guy from the Brookings Institution, who helpfully pointed out that not only does the Arab world hate us, but the rest of the world does, too.
I have just one comment. I’ll consider a Gallup poll of the Arab populace to be of greater than zero value when they perform one in an Arab country with a free press.
