Afghan mob kills at least 12 UN workers in protest over Terry Jones’s Koran-burning

Hot Air  "“Wait,” you say, “since when did Terry Jones burn a Koran?” Turns out he did it 12 days ago after some sort of kangaroo court/mock trial. I didn’t know about it until today; apparently, after being savaged last fall for condemning Jones’s provocation while devoting saturation coverage to it, most of the national media wisely decided to ignore him this time. Most, but not all: Someone must have picked up the story because, by last Thursday, our “friend” Hamid Karzai had formally denounced Jones’s act. "

Koran-burning pastor says murders of UN staff aren’t his fault  "Should Jones have burned the Koran? No. But not because doing so might incite some evil people halfway around the world to commit atrocities against innocents. Rather, he shouldn’t have done it was needlessly hurtful without adding any value to the debate. Indeed, aside from generating publicity for himself, he’s likely generated sympathy for Islam and disdain for churches of his ilk."

Maggie's Notebook  "CNN reported the story with quotation marks around ‘terror attacks,’ apparently question the fact that the murders are “terror,” or more clearly put, Islamic jihad. The New York Times gave only the barest details. A question for Democrats: How do you accept what your media silences? Really. How can you abide it? How can you allow your press to ignore this video?"

Mark Steyn: Dead Jews Is No News "Today the delegitimization of Israel is all but universal: Indeed, these days Palestinian leaders pay more lip service to the “two-state solution” than Europeans. On Israel’s national day, prominent Britons of Jewish background write to The Guardian to deplore the existence of the Jewish state. And “Israeli Apartheid Week” is multiculti Toronto’s gift to the world."

Caroline Glick:  Our World: Three Jewish Children "Someone might consider the fact that in the Palestinian Authority, anti-Jewish propaganda is so ubiquitous and so murderous that killing the Fogel babies was an act of heroism. The baby killers knew that by murdering Udi, Ruth, Hadas, Yoav and Elad they would enter the pantheon of Palestinian heroes. They can expect to have a sports stadium or school in Ramallah or Hebron built for them by the Palestinian Authority and underwritten by American or European taxpayers.

"And indeed, the murder of the Fogel children and their parents was greeted with jubilation in Gaza.

"Carnivals were held in the streets as Hamas members handed out sweets."

Measuring Force

Thomas Sowell  "Too often in the past, going all the way back to the days of Woodrow Wilson, we have operated on the assumption that a bad government becomes better after the magic of "change." President Wilson said that we were fighting the First World War to make the way "safe for democracy." But what actually followed was the replacement of autocratic monarchies by totalitarian dictatorships that made previous despots pale by comparison.
"The most charitable explanation for President Obama's incoherent policy in Libya-- if incoherence can be called a policy -- is that he suffers from the long-standing blind spot of the left when it comes to the use of force" ....
"As for the national interests of the United States of America, Barack Obama has never shown any great concern about that."
