Bad man killed — but worse may win

Britain’s astonishing naivety and credulity when it comes to the Arab and Muslim world have given way, with the killing of Col Gaddafy, to a tardy tremulousness as people wonder nervously: ‘Now what?’ Too late! Britain treated Gaddafy as a cartoon character – not just because of his caricature as a bizarre and unpredictable ‘mad dog’, but because British commentators and even politicians tend to depict armed conflict in cartoonish terms: ‘bad man killed, so goodies win’. Alas, in the Arab and Muslim world it’s very often ‘bad man killed, even worse men win’.

Gaddafy was undoubtedly a very bad man. But the Prime Minister’s self-congratulation yesterday for having helped bring about the fall of the Gaddafy regime and thus give Libyans the chance ‘of building for themselves a strong and democratic future’ was, although statesmanlike in its relative restraint, still distinctly premature.

What A Piece Of Work! The Guardian’s sinister mistranslation of Abbas’s words regarding the Shalit deal
The sometimes quite unscrupulous anti-Israel reportage of the leftist-“intellectual” British newspaper The Guardian is, of course, notorious, and not only to Israel’s friends in the UK. Sydney lawyer David Singer, a founder member of the International Analysts Network, has drawn attention to a recent instance in the following article via the antipodean J-Wire service. It’s entitled “Palestine – Abbas Gets Lost In The Translation”

Writes David Singer:
‘PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been often criticised for making statements in English that are contradicted by other statements made by him in Arabic. Abbas has continued this art of doublespeak first perfected by his predecessor Yasser Arafat – tailoring his views to the audience that he is addressing.

The latest Gallup poll pegs President Obama’s approval at a new low of 41 percent. That adds to the thought that the winner of the GOP presidential-primary sweepstakes is going to be the next president.

And inside that Republican contest, the policy pendulum is swinging toward pro-growth, flat-tax reform. A new agenda. With Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan and the announcement of a Steve Forbes-type flat tax from Gov. Rick Perry, the GOP flat-tax-reform competition is dominating the headline news.

While President Obama stumps for huge tax hikes — on incomes of $200,000 to the millionaire and billionaire level — and demoralizes businesses and entrepreneurs with his populist attacks on success and risk-taking, the GOP is fast coming up with a much better idea
