What Must Be Said

Joe Katzman is one of my favorite conservatives in the blogosphere. No. Wait. I shouldn’t put it that way.
Joe Katzman is one of the best writers in the blogosphere.
How many other Jews after September 11 dedicate every single Sabbath to finding and writing something good about Islam?
How many others are as kind and respectful toward those he does not agree with?
He’s Canadian, so maybe that explains it. Yes, I’m kidding, but I’m only half kidding.
Seriously, though. Because he is conservative he is able to say some things that I am not able to say. Or, perhaps I could say them but I cannot have the same impact.

This is a painful post to write, but it needs to be written. I hate the U.N. too, but some of the posts out there in the wake of the Baghdad bombing crossed a very important line.
This post by Emperor Misha I, and a few of the comments associated with it, are probably the most widely publicized. Regrettably, in the comments section of this Winds of Change.NET post, team member Trent Telenko wrote in one of his comments:
“Too bad the Al-Qaeda didn’t use a bigger bomb (August 20, 2003 02:56 AM).”
What we have here, is a failure to communicate. Not theirs – they communicated all too well. So perhaps it’s mine. Brothers, listen. Carefully.
