Iran says it’s not afraid of the UN Security Council.:

“Iran cannot be intimidated by the Security Council. We do not take such threats seriously,” Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told reporters.

Thanks, again, M. Chirac!

Michael Ledeen writes about the French connection.

Steven Plaut says that France should offer “land for peace.”

First, until this plan is implemented in full, we must insist that the French government acknowledge that there is no military or police solution to the problems of violence in its suburbs, and only through recognizing the legitimacy of the demands of the murderers and rioters outside Paris can the problems be resolved.

Heh.

And not just to the rioters:

…we all agree that territory must not be annexed by force. Therefore, we can also agree that Germany has a moral right to demand the return of Alsace-Lorraine, for the French aggression in 1945 and its consequent occupation must not be rewarded. ”A full withdrawal for full peace” should operate here. Further, France must agree to the return and rehabilitation of all ethnic Germans expelled from Alsace-Lorraine after World Wars I and II, as well as all those they define as their descendents.

Mark Steyn says that the Eurabian war has started ahead of schedule, and that Charles Martel’s long-ago victory at Poitiers is in danger of being reversed:

”There’s a civil war under way in Clichy-sous-Bois at the moment,” said Michel Thooris of the gendarmes’ trade union Action Police CFTC. ”We can no longer withstand this situation on our own. My colleagues neither have the equipment nor the practical or theoretical training for street fighting.”

There are Islamic riots in Denmark as well, if Viking Observer’s translation is reliable. And the Danish press, no hostage to political correctness (unlike much of the western media), isn’t afraid to call it what it is:

Saturday morning a 16-year-old Somali boy was incarcerated, accused of aggravated assault, as he friday evening threw a cobblestone through a window in the bakery. The stone passed closely by baker B

The foreign policy advisor to the Iranian president recognizes who his adversary is, but not its nature:

But it is not only the US that Abbasi wants to take on and humiliate. He has described Britain as

…or harder to argue for regime change of a country that has been drummed out of the UN?

For those slow on the uptake, I’m asking whether it’s a good idea to toss Iran, given the circumstances.

I just noticed a comment I made in this year-old post (a good read for those new to this site who enjoyed my other WW II reportage satires):

I should add that things are going to get worse in Iraq before they get better. The enemy is going to do everything he can to prevent the elections from occurring. I have confidence that he will fail, and that the Iraqi people, like the brave Afghans, will go to the polls in the face of the totalitarian monsters who wish to thwart their freedom.

Looks like it’s holding up pretty well so far.
