"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

TIME.com: Why the Cartoon Clash Is Escalating -- Page 1

TIME.com: Why the Cartoon Clash Is Escalating -- Page 1

"'Muslim television and newspapers have provided blanket coverage"' uh and uh of course we at Time and the rest of the world media have kind of covered it too.

"'Its spread has been accelerated by widespread anti-Western anger over the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Western moves to block the development of Iran's nuclear ambitions.'" Luckily Time knows everything about this and that it boils down to these three things.

'"It is the duty of all Muslims to wake up from their deep sleep and defend their religion,"' And violently!!!

How do you suppose Time/MSM come to these conclusions? Why is it that the American MSM can spend so much time telling the U.S. government about what is right, wrong, acceptable, legal, spying, slap to national security, etc., yet they cannot bring themselves to judge this reaction to cartoons?

As I posted this I had to look at a picture of Joel Klein at Time.com and his latest; "A Bush Without Boldness," "In his State of the Union speech, Bush called for cutting our Middle Easteern oil imports; then came a retreat....."

This text has been added 2/8/06: I experienced some technical difficulties with HTML (which is technical, so I guess anything, whether a difficulty or not with regards to HTML Joe Klein had nothing to do with the piece I was griping about. I had said something like, "having to look at Klein's mug the whole time I was writing was irksome. His latest is a Bash on the president regarding his SOTU, saying in so many words that he was not strong enough. Klein is an example of what is wrong with the media. If Bush had gone too strong, WATCHOUT, he's coming to get you. You can't win against those that know better for us.....
