Some stories/blogposts that may be of interest to you:
- Christopher Hitchens in an opinion piece for the WSJ writes [1] “Iraq is no “distraction” from al Qaeda.” He’s also penned a related piece that focuses on the 3 year anniversary of the Iraq war, which you can find here [2].
- Make sure to read this heartwrenching story of Tim Jaccard [3], a medic who started a foundation called “Children of Hope” – from that foundation he has bought space at the Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury, NY and named that space “The Island of Hope” … where’s he’s buried 80 babies, most of them abandoned. Keep some tissues handy.
- Joe Gandelman blogs [4] about the stir over Wafah Dufour’s (OBL’s neice) upcoming new reality show.
- ST reader Severian sends this link [5] to an opinion piece written by Dennis Prager where Prager discusses the latest controversy in France [6] – this time over a “new law in France that allows a company to fire a person under the age of 26, without cause, within two years of being hired” – and how this parallels with some of the socialist-like ideas some Democrats push today. Interesting read.
- Stephen Spruiell at NRO’s Media Blog reports [7] on an AP piece today that seems to mourn the end of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq rule. Read it [7], and you’ll understand why he appropriately and sarcastically calls it the ‘poor Saddam’ story.
- Does Senator Hillary Clinton wear the pants in the family [8]?
- The DeLay case may be delayed. Again. The Houston Chronicle [9] has the latest.
- Glenn Reynolds proves why he’s the king of the blogosphere by soundly slamming the anti-war left [10] – and doing so after yet another gloating-style email from an anti-war leftist (or Defeatocrat [11] – take your pick).
