Like I said over at Fresh Politics... the arab are finally starting to realize what terrorists are doing to the world -- they are personalizing terroism.

Zarqawi's 'accidental' bombing of the Jordanian hotel was the wake up call. This is another reawakening. How long are they going to hit the snooze button?

The thesis that the only thing standing between Arab democrats and assassination is the presence of the American army seems to have a major problem: all of the assassinations mentioned in the article (except for Jumblatt's father) happened while the US army was in Iraq.

The polls have been closed for more than an hour (even with the extended hour) and still no snarky angle on the election from the H&R staff? You people are slipping. What is it, some libertarian federal holiday?

As columnist David Ignatius wrote: "The shame for America isn't that we have tried to topple the rule of the assassins, but that we have so far been unsuccessful." . . . The internationalization of Lebanese security . . . is essential to avoid a slide into something far worse.

That's not to say the U.S. should become fireman to the world.

Perhaps not, but it's one heckuva good start downt that road.
