That certainly piqued my interest. This is the kind of review that brings me to the theatre. Too bad the Times killed the play. Perhaps a revival elsewhere ...

At the same time, citizen judgment used to “profile” suspicious terrorist activity is denounced by those same leftists. No law is being suggested to single out those with a questionable background. Common sense suggests a careful eye should be cast upon those with sympathies to jihadi causes.

Let's not be dhimmi-whipped into being afraid of suggesting an hypothesis. Indeed, given the record of 10-20000 jihadi attacks around the world since 9/11 we should be adamant that it is natural to assume that an attack with this M.O. is likely jihadi. If it is the exception, then it is the exception that proves the rule.

It would not be surprising if a jihadi attack occurred in Boston instead of New York. While there's an outside chance this one isn't a jihadi attack, the odds are against it. It has the M.O. of such an attack and that should be a reason for proceeding as if it were an Islamic attack. It pays to play the odds.

We have been helping them for 50 years. We’ve supported the (1) Arabs in the Suez Crisis and in general from 1948 to 1967. (2) We supported the UN resolution for Israel’s return of territory from the ’67 war. (3) We helped Egypt get back the Sinai and (4) helped Muslims fight the USSR. We’ve helped the Muslims in (5) Bosnia and (6) Kosovo, We’ve help (7) Kuwait and protected (8) Saudi Arabia from Saddam. We give (9) Egypt $2-3 billion a year. We fund the (10) Palestinians and help the (11) Lebanese; we’ve tried to establish a democracy in (12) Iraq and (13) Afghanistan; we helped (14) Arafat rise to power in Palestine; we gave the (15) Taliban $43 billion in early 2001; we sell fighter jets to (16) Pakistan. (17) We fund Fatah ($68 million 6/07) and (18) Hamas ($40 million via the UN). (19) Provided aid to Tsunami victims in Indonesia and earthquake victims in Pakistan. (20) Sell Saudi Arabia state of the art weapons. (21) Help Islamists rise to power in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Gaza, etc.
As Paul Berman noted in "Terror and Liberalism", there is no group of people that we've helped more in the last 50 years than Muslims. Muslims come first ... why? I suggest that both left and right see an altruistic purity in helping people that are least like us and have nothing to offer the world (aside from natural resources that we found for them.)

11 years ago @ Frontpage Magazine - Egypt: Too Big to Fail? · 0 replies · +1 points
We made a huge mistake in 1956 when Eisenhower supported Nasser. We made further mistakes when Reagan supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Bush made another mistake by nations-building in Iraq and calling for elections in Gaza. Obama continued the failed policies and look at what is happening. Enough of our "help!" It's time to pull the plug.
