Hang 'em!

Some new news about the pirates in the Gulf of Aden. Seems six of them were captured after they fired on a German naval ship they mistook for a commercial vessel. Read more here.

Silly, stupid pirates. I say, since we are dealing with a group of people who, like the terrorists, live in a fantasy world that has yet to catch up to the 20th century; let's deal with them the old fashioned way. In the good old days, captured pirates were hanged aboard ship!

Thomas Jefferson certainly knew how to handle the Barbary Coast pirates - build a navy, sail into their home ports, bombard their cities, sink their ships and kill them until they stopped their nonsense.

Respect For the Arts in Palestine

A group of Palestinian musicians playing in a concert to honor Holocaust survivors in Israel. Ahhh, that sounds like a liberal's dream. A symbol of hope and reconciliation.

Well, that's not how the powers that be in Palestine see it. According to this Jerusalem Post article authorities of the Jenin refuge camp have disolved the orchestra (aptly named the Strings of Freedom) and barred their orchestra teacher from returning to the camp. Her apartment has been boarded up.

According to the article, Palestinian authorities distributed leaflets throughout the camp condemning the event and calling the participation of the children an act of exploitation. One thing's for sure, the Palestinians would never dream of exploiting children. Never, ever, EVER!

An Arab-Israeli woman who helped organize the concert has also been banned from entering the camp. Funny how the left goes nuts when Israel erects a wall and checkpoints to keep out suicide bombers, but the Palestinians restrict freedom of movement for those guilty of much more terrible crimes; like organizaing cross-cultural music concerts.

Open your eyes people, the terrorists are Islamofascists and do not want peace - they want submission. Reaching out, understanding, empaty and idiotic video appeals with Farsi subtitles won't change that.
