Quote of the week

Is Iraq a quagmire, a disaster, a failure? Certainly not; none of the above. Of all the adjectives used by skeptics and critics to describe today’s Iraq, the only one that has a ring of truth is “messy.” Yes, the situation in Iraq today is messy. Births always are. Since when is that a reason to declare a baby unworthy of life?

Amir Taheri

The whole article is worth reading - along with the commentary by Ibn_Alrafidain (where I found this quote).

Was D-Day. Don’t forget.

We won that war. I wonder if we’ll win this one.

Memorial Day

In Flanders Fields.
 
In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
 
— Major John McCrae

America’s Answer.
 
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so bravely led
We’ve taken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
In Flanders fields.
 
Fear not that ye have died for naught.
The torch ye threw to us we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedom’s light shall never die!
We’ve learned the lesson that ye taught
In Flanders fields.
 
— R.W. Lilliard.

This Memorial Day, buy a poppy, and wear it to remind yourself, and others, that freedom has a price; Memorial Day is the day we honor those who paid that price. And we can enjoy this holiday because they paid for our freedom.

Gators are gray.

Michael Yon has a great post about alligators, and ‘facts’ that aren’t. (Hat tip to Bill Ewing for sending me the heads-up on this one. )

Hmmm…

The Christian idiots in Ireland remind the Muslim idots (worldwide) that they don’t have a monopoly on ‘religious’ violence.

(Note: if you drop by to defend either group, you are, by definition, one of the idots I refer to.)

When fear cows the media (Thanks to the misnamed wits0 for the link.)

I’ll also note that Mr. Jocoby did not directly say anything about the Boston Globe not publishing the pictures.

And no, I’ve not posted them either - in my case, it’s a bandwidth thing, plus a worry about violating copyright. Originally, I also would not have posted them for the same reason I wouldn’t post the infamous ‘P*ss Christ’ - it’s not polite.

But I believe the time for politeness is long past. So here’s some Ascii art - via Transterrestrial Musings and Sean Gleeson:
