Hanson.



Putz links to Hanson, who's foaming at the mouth at The Corner:
What is striking about all this [al Qaeda] savagery—whether with the filmed beheadings of Westerners in Iraq to the recent flaming Johnny Storm human torch at Glasgow, screaming epithets as he sought to engulf bystanders and ignite his canisters — is the absolute silence of the West, either distracted by Paris and i-Phones or suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome and obsessed with Guantanamo.
Excuse me, but didn't the West kinda invade two countries -- one just for the hell of it -- in response to al Qaeda barbarism? Aren't we still sort of still killing people over there in fairly large numbers? And hasn't the West also disappeared hundreds, if not thousands of people to detention camps in Cuba and Eastern Europe and all over the planet where they are routinely tortured and held without charges -- all in response to al Qaeda's barbarism? And didn't we, as Americans, give up -- what's that legal thingamajiggy? -- oh yeah, habeas corpus, and a bunch of other Constitutionally-related stuff that we'd sort of taken for granted for a couple hundred years -- in response to al Qaeda?

All of that is ... silence?

As for Bush Derangement Syndrome, an epidemic which afflicts nearly three-fourths of the American people, wasn't it Bush who told Americans to go shopping after those al Qaeda atrocities?

Buying iPhones is Bush's preferred way to fight the War on Terror(TM), Hanson -- don't knock it.
