Braveheart in Gallipoli

Viewers are forgiving of Mel Gibson's patriotic excess. Also: Amazing Ben. Blogged Down Democrats. Plus much more.

I must respond to Ben Stein. Real Americans are praying for Israel in this awful existential fight, because those paying attention know in their hearts what Mr. Stein says is true: "The line of the fight between civilization and barbarism runs right along the Israel-Lebanon non-border. If it's not won there, it won't be long until the front line is right here, and then it will be too late."

If the world learned nothing from World War II, it should have learned that the poor Jewish people are the canaries in the coal mine. Long used as scapegoats for all the world's problems, the way they are treated is actually our future mirroring back at us. But, even if that wasn't true, the right thing to do is to support Israel, a good, decent, law-abiding oasis located in the middle of a maniacal Middle Eastern desert.
