The West perceives the Muslim Mideast as number of distinct entities divided by religious enmity and elements of class and political hegemony. But, on their essential alienation from the West, this gathering of tribes is united. The tendency of the US to cleave off and cozy up to various factions is unrealistic. Hence, the Saudis use our wealth to fund Wahhabism. The Iraqis use our military power to stabilize their own tribal divisions and then declare that they want us out. The Syrians sell their terrorist cutout services to any and all, while Nancy Pelosi genuflects to Assad. The Iranians export an astonishingly varied culture to the Western artistic elites as a salve and a stroke to make the West accept their development of the Bomb. Egypt allows the US Congress to subsidize its economy and thus keep its autocracy in power. The Palestinians use us as a bank. The Emirates drain our debt to build autocratic pleasure palaces and the Afghanis ship us heroin, while the Pakistanis export nuclear technology all over the region. It is a huge, backward sinkhole. The United States, France, England, Russia and China need to establish a nuclear alliance in which the so-called great powers act in concert to destroy any and all nuclear bases in the region from the Swat Valley to Qom and beyond. If these powers do not take preventive action, there will be a nuclear exchange in the region which will require such concerted action ex post facto. The alternative is a competition between iran and elements within Pakistan to use nuclear weapons as one more terrorist commodity to gin up Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, PFLP, and, for all I know, the Munchkins, the Shirelles and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Nuclear devices will be going off like machine guns in Prohibition Chicago. Existentially, all of these tribes are seeking an orgasmic identity rush through one act, and one act alone, and that is the destruction of Israel. The death cult that drives Shia and terrorist culture, means that there is no price in self-destruction that the gathering of Mideast tribes would not pay.

Two weeks later on May 21, some of the victim's families wrote the letters column chastising him, but he stuck to his guns. Apparently some of the victim's groups have changed their own stories to follow the government's line. One can feel the authenticity of their grief, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are right about who killed their relatives.
