Siddiqui stumps no one.
Afghanistan hasn't stumped Harper as Siddiqui suggests. It has stumped the Muslim community. Why, even with the help of the West, haven't Afghanis been able to lift themselves up by the bootstraps to get rid of the Taliban and make decent lives for themselves? What is it about the interpretation of the Koran which has stopped the Afghanis men from achieving freedom and not given Afghani women freedom to benefit themselves and society?
No, it is not Afghanistan that has stumped the West but the question of how a reasonable Muslim person can become an Islamist.

Human Rights Watch
Human Rights Watch says it spends a proportionate amount of time on Israel as other countries.
Umm. Saudi Arabi is not a paragone of Human Rights Freedoms. It has 2,240,000 square kilometers in area and in 1997, a population of 16,000,000 people which now must be at least 25,000,ooo people. Israel has an area of 21,000 square kilometers or 1/100th of the area of Saudia Arabia and currently a population of about 7,000,000 people or between 1/3 and 1/4 of the population. Human Rights Watch should be spending between 3 and 100 times the amount of time on Saudi Arabia.Yet it is obvious that Human Rights Watch and everyone else spends much more time on Israeli Human rights than on the much more serious Saudi human rights. So Human Rights Watch has most likely lied and Siddiqui has printed the lies. Am I surprised? No. Am I disappointed? Yes.

National Post Monday sept 21st
George Will wrote in the Natioanl Post this morning (Monday) that Bosnia is disintegrating despite all the money that has poured into that country and we should use it as a lesson for what will happen in Afghanistan.
It seems to me that the Bosnian fiasco as well as what is happening with Karsai in Afganistan are good examples of what will happen if the West Bank and/or Gaza becomes a country. It will not bring peace - only more war, destruction and perhaps the possession or use by another terrorist nation of nuclear weapons.
