It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn

I think the recent increase in violence in Iraq is a last-gasp kind of thing. The Captain in Red on Red in Iraq point out that the tide is starting to turn at the grass roots level. It's about time.

I certainly wouldn't want to live in Saudia Arabia, but as the Anti-Idiotarian points out in Another Splodeydoper Goes To Meet His 72 Goats they do know how to take care of terrorists.

Earlier I mentioned Kim duToit and his Nation of Riflemen blog. He's decided to take a hiatus. Kim, you have leave from a grateful nation to take your 7 days R&R. Use it wisely and return rested and ready for battle.
