Saturday Musings

Blogger was down for most of the day today and I have to wonder about the insane times they pick for maintenance, evenings and weekends when traffic is highest. Oh well, I can't complain too much since it is a free service so enough on that.
It seems the hot topic of the day is the Danish cartoons and the riots in the Muslim world. Michelle Malkin has a comprehensive round up of pictures of the rioters burning embassies in Syria and their signs, blogger and news commentary and other bits of info. A Religion of Peace???, I'll have to think about that, I don't think so, that required some real mental energy to assess. What about freedom of speech and thought do these wackos not understand, much like the moonbats here? They want to quash the voices of all but their own failed dogma that has failed to provide even the most basic principles of society. The West is not responsible for the poverty in Islamic or socialistic/communist countries, it is the very essence at the root of their being, no personal responsibilty is allowed and even discouraged and free creative thought is harshly repressed. Even Europe with their extremely tolerant and liberal society is waking up, let us at least hope they are. The American Thinker has posted some interesting perspectives from the Danish point of view and it is refreshing to read them.
So where does the Barnyard sit on this issue? As is well known I am not a fan of Islam, a pseudo religion in my opinion, and support the free speech of Jylands-Posten to print what ever it wants to and believe it may well serve as that wake up call for naive europeans following the Madrid and London bombings , the riots in France and to a lesser but noless important degree, the brutal murder of Theo Van Gogh.
This leads me to Iran, where else but the apocalyptic mullacracy could it lead? (Further reading) . As these articles point out the West is left with few options and none of them are very pretty, diplomacy and the UN, (Iran gets nukes), Israel or the US takes out the facilities, (we are capable), or regime change through popular uprising with western support,(favored by both authors). This is the most serious issue to confront the world in a long time, Al Gore thinks its global warming, well I guess thermo-nuclear war would warm things up a bit. We have the means and the ability to deliver, to annihilate their nuclear infrastructure, do we have the stomach for it? Perhaps with the latest muslim nonsense over cartoons, the rest of the West will move to ourside as well as the East. Perhaps we can send momma moonbat Cindy Sheehan over to talk to Ahmadinejad about peace and love and why we should just all get along , she seems to have a thing for dictators.

PS: Blogger buddy Lores of Just a Woman starts her very own radio show on KRLA in Los Angeles tomorrow night from 12:00 to 2:00 am pac. A hearty congratulations for a great gal, a strong Christian and conservative. I may have to call in late monday to work just to listen in and perhaps give a ring in to the show.
