Chill out, Hill!

Silly Hillary. Karl Rove is not ‘obsessed‘ with you. Clinton claims that Rove “spends more time thinking about my political future” than she does. Hmm…can we move on now?

The Civil War Begins?

Things aren’t looking up in Iraq right now.
The situation in Baghdad is bad, bad, bad. I had to flee work early and return home after news of large protests in Shi’ite districts, and several attacks against Sunni mosques in the Baladiyat, Sha’ab and Dora districts by angry rioters. Sunnis are being blamed for the attack against […]

Dubai Again

More about the DP World mess here. While it’s true that there is a problem with port security in America, the problem is not the actual act of outsourcing some of our ports to a first-rate Arab company (which manages ports from Europe to Asia). Even if DP World doesn’t take over, whoever replaces them won’t make a difference. That’s […]

The Truth About Dubai

It’s not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. WaPo does a good job of debunking all the nonsense here. Why is Congress so paranoid of a secular, profit motivated, Arab company taking over some of our ports? Unfortunately, I think its largely because of Islamaphobia. Sigh. We say we want to economically integrate Muslims into the West, but […]

More from the BBC

Bush threatens to veto any Congressional challenge to his DP World deal. US intelligence agencies are reclassifying 55,000 historical documents. New pictures from Abu Ghraib emerge. US Supreme Court to rule on abortion.
Side note: why is it that every time Bush threatens to veto a bill he’s either trying to stop anti-torture legislation from being […]

Muslim v. Muslim

Great article in today’s NY Times about the internal divisions among Muslims in the Middle East. It sadly illustrates just how poorly governments over there are dealing with the cartoon controversy.
Allow me to juxtapose two quotes by two outspoken Muslims:
Jihad Momani: “What brings more prejudice against Islam, these caricatures or pictures of a hostage-taker slashing […]

The West and Hypocrisy

I cannot tell you how much it pains me to see this in the news. Here I am pontificating about the merits of a free press and the virtues of Western liberalism when Austria throws British historian David Irving in the slammer for denying the Holocaust. Talk about hypocrisy.
How can we even think of lecturing […]
