If we lose the war

here’s why.

In the West: Preschoolers gather to sing songs around a “Peace Tree”.

In a Hamas Kindergarten, the boys chant, “What is your path? Jihad!“

Tech Demo OTD

Here’s an amazing glimpse at the future of images and computers.

And stay tuned after the demo for a commercial about the BMW that walks – make that runs – on water.

Hitch vs. Hedges

Zombie’s latest report is a hoot. When Hitch is good, he is very, very good.

And he’s so good here he isnt’ just good. He blows Hedges right out of the water.

Hitchens: It’s exact equivalent of the evil nonsense taught by Hedges and friends of his, who say the suicide bombers in Palestine are driven to it by despair. Have you read the manifestos of these suicide bombers? Have you seen the videos they make? Have you seen the manifestos they put out? The propaganda that they generate? These are not people in despair. These are people in a state of religious exultation. Who are promised everything. Who are in a state of hope. Who are in a state of adoration for their evil mullahs. And for their filthy religion. It’s this that makes them think they have the right to kill others while taking their own lives. If despair among Palestinians was enough to create psychopathic criminal behavior, there’s been enough despair for a long time, and enough misery to go around. It is to excuse the vicious, filthy forces of Islamic jihad to offer any other explanation but that it is their own evil preaching, their own vile religion, their own racism, their own apocalyptic ideology that makes them think they have the right to kill everyone in this room, and go to paradise as a reward. I won’t listen, nor should you, to anyone who euphemizes or excuses this evil wicked thing.

Midway

I confess to being one of those who under-appreciated the Battle of Midway, even though I knew it was important. Scylla & Charibdis provides a stunning primer on the fifteen minutes that changed the world.
