If This Does Not Disturb You...

With a tip 'o the hat to Hugh Hewitt, please view this full clip. If you think the "Arab Spring" had a good outcome, just observe the violence and hatred that emerges when these Egyptian guests are told that they are on Israeli television. Sure, it's a "Candid Camera"-style prank, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the guests' reaction. This hatred is real, and is the reason peace remains an insurmountable goal in the Middle East.

I would say, "enjoy," but not this time. This is like watching people playing pranks on Nazi prison guards.

The "You Didn't Build That" Fallout Continues

Charles Krauthammer is arguably journalism's most intelligent commentator.

This incisive couple of lines from his latest Washington Post column is a proof-text:

What The Higgs Boson Discovery Doesn't Do

Many talking heads, including physics-popularizers like Dr. Michio Kaku, are claiming that last week's announcement of the discovery of the Higgs Boson will revolutionize particle physics and even "disprove God." Nothing could be further from the truth, as Dr. William Lane Craig explains to the writer of an email question submitted to Dr. Craig through his "Reasonable Faith" web site:

Why Do We Permit This?

This CBS report echoes what the Taliban did to the Bamiyan Buddha in Afghanistan. When will we learn that radical Islam deserves no protection since they have shown a complete repudiation of civil behavior, or of civilization for that matter.

Now, when was the last time you heard or read of "radical" Jews or Christians defacing and destroying archaeological, cultural or historical artifacts? Does this not seem to be behavior symptomatic of a particular world-view?
