16:58 - Your concern is noted

Earlier today:

BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip - A remote-controlled bomb tore apart an armored vehicle in a U.S. diplomatic convoy Wednesday, killing three American security guards and wounding a fourth in the first deadly attack on a U.S. target in the Palestinian territories.

The attack, on a convoy of U.S. Embassy diplomats entering Gaza to interview Palestinian candidates for a Fulbright scholarship, was a dramatic departure from typical militant operations, which usually target Israeli soldiers and civilians. It was almost certain to lead to greater U.S. pressure for a Palestinian crackdown on militant groups.

"Palestinian authorities should have acted long ago to fight terror in all its forms," President Bush (news - web sites) said, blaming Palestinian officials for the attack.

Yeah. Killing American diplomats who are there interviewing Fullbright applicants. That sure sends a rational message of legitimate resistance against oppression. We read you loud and clear.

"HalfLife" from LGF:

NPR just had John Burns on (from the NYTimes), and he reported that the stone-throwing "Allahu Akbar" chanterss near the bomb site had to be dispersed twice, once by Palestinian police shooting over their heads, and once by an Israeli tank shooting over their heads (after which he added something about "tear gas")...

When the journalists were finally allowed in, he says he saw a crowd of 600 or so, and they stoned the journalists. He said they were laughing and smiling, and at first he thought they were friendly [how stupid can he be?], but then they started throwing rocks, shattering the car's windows... He said he was at the rear of the convoy of journalists, if his driver hadn't managed to speed away from the scene, it could have been bad... They were actually chasing the car! He admitted it was terrifying.

Yes, Virginia, they hate you too. They'd probably have killed even the beatified Rachel Corrie, who died defending the tunnels that were probably used to smuggle in these bombs, if she were in the crowd. And "terrified" or not, she'd probably welcome death, for it came at the hands of her beloved pet cause. Like this brain-donor who said it would be an honor to be eaten by a bear... and is now duly honored.

IndyMedia blames the attack on the Jews:

The zionazi foe has attacked a U.S. diplomatic convoy in order to win the sympathy of Americans. Recent opinion polls had shown a tremendous drop in Americans' support for the zionists with Americans holding zionists equally responsible for violence. Consequently, the zionazis have launched an attack on the U.S. vehicles in a desperate ploy to blame Palestinians and detract from any possible media focus on yesterday's 50th anniversary of the zionazi genocide at Qibya. The article below shows that Zionazi tanks were already in position to make full use of the opportunity.

It must be a form of what Lileks calls "English Major Disease" that leads cosseted Western college students to look for the insightful hidden meaning in everything that turns the obvious interpretation of an event on its head. Four years of seeking the all-important top-of-the-bell-curve grade leads a person to see a world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower-- and a swastika in the Star of David, and an international Zionist conspiracy in the World Trade Center crashing down. It's an obsessive need to find historical parallels to contemporary events, even if it involves stretching credibility beyond its elastic limit-- and to react to the latter events as though they were the former, as though by treating 9/11 like it's the Reichstag Fire, these people get to atone for their not being alive in time to prevent the actual Hitler from rising to power. This kind of mental onanism is what makes a person refuse to believe there's such a thing as real Good and Evil in the world; just because he's never experienced true Evil, for him it doesn't exist, and all reality is relative.

These people are going to eviscerate this country. Especially since the Democratic candidates seem so busy trolling for their oh-so-willing votes.

And for a finale, here's instant reaction from the Arab News:

Oh, for the voice of reason that was M. Khalil.
