If you are offended that I believe something different than you, doesn't that make you intolerant?

Spoken like a true socialist
If you had any doubt that Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was indeed a socialist nutjob, he keeps offering up more proof…
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, calling the war that ousted Saddam Hussein an “error,” said he would recall Spanish troops from Iraq by June 30 unless the United Nations assumes control of multinational military operations there.
Ah, his little heart must go pitter-patter at the mere mention of the United Nations being involved in Iraq. Ohhhh, if only Kofi Annan and his benevolent band of blunderers would somehow be working in Iraq, ALL would be right with the world!! WHY can we not see the err of our ways and just let the U.N. have something, anything to do in Iraq? Why?? WHY??
Whew!...got to settle down…

It just hit me
Before I forget, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.
I was always awful at forgetting to wear green on this day when growing up, so I got lots of pinches from my friends. (Those of you old enough to remember the custom know what I mean.) There was also this ship down in San Diego, called the USS O’Brien (DD-975), a Spruance-class Destroyer (commonly called a Spru-can), whose crew got to wear green ball caps everywhere they went.
That seemed pretty cool, too.
But I digress.
I just commented over at Lee’s site, about a column by Mark Steyn. And it hit me that everyone needs to know this.
Go. Read. Spread the word.
Money quote: As the PR guy for the Islamic Army of Aden said after blowing up that French tanker: “We would have preferred to hit a US frigate, but no problem because they are all infidels.”
Lee’s quote: If Islamic terrorism were as rational as Irish or Basque terrorism, it would be easier. But Hussein Massawi, former leader of Hezbollah, summed it up very pithily: “We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”
Another: The question then is what does a nation have to do to avoid being targeted by the Islamists. Canada refused to take part in the war on Iraq, but whoever makes Osama’s audio tapes these days still named the disinclined dominion as one of al-Qa’ida’s enemies. Ireland did no more than allow American aircraft to continue their practice of refuelling at Shannon but that was enough for Robert Fisk to volunteer them for a list of potential Islamist targets.
Read the whole thing.
