Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Danish Cartoons set Radical Islamic World on Fire:

"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said.

"We all fully recognise and respect freedom of the press and expression, but it must be coupled with press responsibility.

"Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable."

Bush's largest failure in foreign policy is failure to clean house in the state dept. Any bureacrat with an appeasement (LLL) agenda should have been told to get on board, if they couldn't do that, show them the door.
Bureacrats; spit; the enemy within.

It's not just the State Department but also our cowardly Dhimmi-whipped press. How many have printed the cartoons? The New York Sun printed one--but they are the exception! How can you have a story about a picture and (if it is not X-rate) fail to printed the picture?

I've been arguing that the press is worse than cowardly ... here.

Of course, that’s why we need the blogosphere … and Pamela … way to go!

Lowandslow is (once again) right on target.
It would be interesting to read a history book from fifty years in the future (assuming that writing such a thing as history will be permitted) on the topic of the inside story of the response by DoS to 9-11. Such a work might try to determine how it was that DoS,
1. tried to maintain the Saudi Visa Express program;
2. succeded in geting the US to back the "Road Map toPeace" in 12/2002 after President Bush had endorsed a much tougher position on the Palestinian terrorists in 06/2002;
3. delayed the invasion of Iraq due to numerous futile international consultations;
4. opposed, in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the attempt to create a "free-Iraqi" opposition (see Michael Rubin);
5. hamstrung US forces in Iraq (see first Fallujah);
6. arranged for President Bush to have the hand-holding photo-op with that two-faced, fat and oily terrorist supporter, Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah;
7. pressured Israel to make lethal compromises to her security in Gaza and the West Bank;
8. effectively turned a blind eye to Iranian and Saudi support of the terrorist insurgents in Iraq;
9. Allowed the Iranians years to advance their WMD programs; and,
10. And, worst of all, constantly watered-down and covered up accurate descriptions of the belief system of our enemy (latest from SoSo Rice: 'Palestinians have "long been known for their tolerance."').


The strength to refute the advocates of points #1-9 would come from a clear understanding of the nature of the enemy (point #10). It is tragic that it is only parts of the blogosphere, some talk radio, and a minority of MSM (NY Sun, Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, WSJ, Washington Times, etc.) that fight the good fight on point #10 while the DoS and MSM are AWOL.

In point #10 above I mistakenly referred to Secretary of State (SoS) Rice, as SoSo Rice.

That was a mistake, not a "cute" insult.

#10 should read,
10. And, worst of all, constantly watered-down and covered up descriptions of the belief system of our enemy (latest from SoS Rice: 'Palestinians have "long been known for their tolerance."').

Somewhat OT, but a very important developmen that I missed while paying attention to cartoonifada, from DEBKA via ISRAPUNDIT (http://www.israpundit.com/archives/2006/02/israels_nuclear.php#more):

'While Washington and the European Union are congratulating themselves on getting 27 of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s 35 members to refer the Iranian nuclear program to the UN Security Council, there is a very serious implication for Israel that is being virtually ignored by the international media. The diplomatic achievement was achieved at a price, one that was paid for by the collapse of a fundamental Israeli policy platform just two weeks after the interim Olmert government was rocked back by the Islamic Hamas terror group’s attainment of enough parliamentary seats to form the next Palestinian government.


Saturday, Feb. 4, Jerusalem stood back and watched the United States buckle under European pressure and accept Egypt’s demand to incorporate the following phrase in the resolution on Iran: The resolution recognized

“that a solution to the Iranian issue would contribute to global nonproliferation efforts and - the objective of a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, including their means of delivery.”
What is this really saying?

Linking Iran’s violations of its commitments under international treaty and Israeli nuclear deterrent has long been demanded by the Arab states and opposed by Washington. Its acceptance now opens the way for the integration of the same linkage in the Security Council debate on Iran. It provides a pretext for a whole new set of maneuvers and dilatory tactics by Tehran.'

Removal of of the threat of Israel's potential nuclear deterent would have a profoundly de-stabilizing efect on the entire region, as Arab/Muslim states would feel free to wage a conventional war to destroy Israel without having to face an existential threat. of course it is also likely that, under such an arrangement, Israel would eliminate any nuclear weapons it has while the Arab/Muslim states would retain hidden nuclear waepons.

I am totally stunned at our government's GUTLESS response to this. Laura Ingraham put it right: "This is what you get in a FREE SOCIETY."

We now have proof that Secretary of State Rice has gone native. The Bush Administration is now kowtowing to Muslims, which I find disgusting when it should be that if Bush and crew were TRUE Republicans, they would be standing up for free speech....

Reagan must be turning over in his grave now.


OK, some people are offended by these cartoons. Well, when non-Christians put up cartoons insulting Jesus Christ or some other holy person in Christianity, Christians do speak out, but Christians don't go rioting or burning buildings.

Because


  • "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand
