Ayatollah Khomeini didn’t seem to believe that Islam is a religion of peace. Will CAIR denounce his words?

Al Qaeda has actually won a battle in the war, something that rarely happens on the actual battlefied. Unfortunately, it happens every day, in the western press…

[Wednesday morning update]

Jonah Goldberg has further thoughts.

Support for the “Palestinian cause” has apparently plummeted across the pond.

Better late than never, I guess.

Yeah, let’s take advice on Iran policy from Jimmy Carter. After all:

His comments are significant, given that he was the president when US relations with Iran hit an all-time low.

Some British reporter actually wrote this with a straight face, and some British and Australian editors actually printed it, again with no humor intended.

And while we’re on the subject of Iran, read about the sycophantic stenography of a Walter Duranty wannabee at the WaPo.

Gerard Baker says that Condi is playing a losing hand on Iran.

Australian model Michelle Leslie explains why she wore a burqa. Unfortunately, even wearing one isn’t sufficient to prevent abuse of women, since it’s endemic. But hey, it’s just another culture, right? And cultures are good.

Another very important Memorial Day piece, in (of all places) the New York Times.

In the past, the American public could turn to its sons for martial perspective. Soldiers have historically been perhaps the country’s truest reflection, a socio-economic cross-section borne from common ideals. The problem is, this war is not being fought by World War II’s citizen-soldiers. Nor is it fought by Vietnam’s draftees. Its wages are paid by a small cadre of volunteers that composes about one-tenth of 1 percent of the population

Melanie Phillips has a brief excerpt on her new book about radical Islam in the UK in, of all places, the Guardian. What I find interesting, and dismaying, is all of the leftist, multi-culti denial in the comments.

On Memorial Day weekend, Victor Davis Hanson recounts our many policy mistakes in Iraq. Over the past decades. (Hint: removing Saddam wasn’t one of them, and few of them were committed by the current administration.)

There are few Ernie Pyles in Iraq to record the heroism of our soldiers; no John Fords to film their valor
