Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.
"A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

Monday, May 31, 2004 :::
P.J. O'Rourke suggests:America had everyone's sympathy
after the World Trade towers were attacked. We can get that sympathy back if we limit our foreign policy objectives to whining. O'Rourke lists too many potential side effects for me to quote them all, but here's a start:One thing to whine about will be the fate of Israel. Without American safeguards that nation is certain to be militarily attacked. To
judge by previous Israeli wars, in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 and 1982, the result will be serious headaches for Israelis as the Knesset furiously debates the status of Jewish settlements outside Damascus and on the west bank of the Euphrates. Go read the whole thing -- it's not long.
