“The number of terrorist incidents outside the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq keeps going down …”

Geeze! Just think about that! And it’s true! How many nutso Muslim doctors ramming airports in Great Britain or bombs blowing up Australian tourists have we had of late? Or for that matter, bombs going off in India? I guess there was an attack in Turkey the other day, but other than that, not much to report.

And that is it. Not much to report. So it isn’t. Maybe the title of this piece should not be from Men at Work but from Anne Murray, “A little good news today..”

And Obama stands up in Germany and urges them to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and help us roll up terrorist networks. Escuuuuseee me, Senator, but when have they NOT been doing that? At least since G.W. Bush took office. As for stopping the spread of nukes, ya just know that if this was 1986 he would have been decrying those Pershings and Tomahawks that led to the INF treaty. As well as those Peacekeepers and B-1′s that led to the end of the USSR. I am surprised that he did not urge the Germans to give up their desire for the Sudatenland and quit trying to annex Austria. Talk about out of touch.

And Fred, No. Ain’t gonna happen. Not ever. The Left still is mostly united in opposition to the Vietnam War. Its connection to the Cold War and the more recent Asian analyses that it saved Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines from Communism have yet to register. There are even those who support the current conflict but still proudly say they were against Vietnam.

Modern communications means never daring to say that you are sorry. Or wrong.
