After what I went through last weekend with George, I thought I was being rather unique when I wrote up the experience asking for help. Apparently, not so much. Boortz finds himself in a similar situation. If you’re in the Naples Florida area, check out Frankie.

In case you didn’t remember, this is the one year anniversary of the Train Bombings in Spain. There are several points about all this that need discussion.

First, the Spanish Islamic Commission has taken the extrodinary step of issuing a fatwa against Osama bin Laden. World – Times Online has the details on that.

Secondly, I find of interest the political and social developments since the 3/11 attacks, as compared to the attacks against the Pentegon andthe WTC.  Whereas the attacks against us caused us to come together, the attacks in Spain have apparently had the opposite effect. Amazingly, the people noting it are on the world-wide Left. Take this report from the CBC, as an example:

The event has unsettled the country where a year-long investigation into the bombing has collapsed under mistrust, accusations and deep political division. The government’s remembrance ceremony has been marked with squabbling, and victims of the bombing say they will not participate, refusing to become an “anniversary photo opportunity.”

So let’s nail this down.
Here in the US, we have a center-right leader.  Someone who stands up and says “We going after those who did this”. The country rallies behind him.

Spain, on the other hand, reacts in fear, and falls into division.

Ed at the Captain’s Quarters points up a link to CNN, wherein we hear about a suit bring brought in Sweden. Apparently, the suit says they’re sexist because they don’t show women assembling furniture in their instructions, packed with their furniture kits. IKEA responds that they’re trying to accommodate Muslims, that way. Given the number of Muslims invading… Note the use of the word… The Scandinavian counties of late, it seems a plausible argument, legally speaking.

But why did they end up on the horns of this problem in the first place?

I could tell you, but it would not be PC.

McPhillips brings his own voice to the “Natural Rights’ debate this morning.  He seems to be suggesting, and I agree, that there is no inherrent conflict between reason and morality. Indeed, that morality is BASED in reason.

Some interesting thoughts, here.

Ann Coulter‘s got another great one.

Liberals have been completely intellectually vanquished. Actually, they lost the war of ideas long ago. It’s just that now their defeat is so obvious, even they’ve noticed. As new DNC Chairman Howard Dean might say, it’s all over but the screaming
