Michael Totten On The Middle East

Michael is an excellent writer with a deep knowledge of the Arab world having lived and worked there as an independant reporter for years and his latest for Commentary tells us what the MSM doesn't about the moderate muslim super-majority.

Riots in the wake of the publication of Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammad was one of the most pathetic “activist” spectacles I’ve ever seen, but the press coverage blew the whole thing way out of proportion. The same gaggle of the perpetually outraged have been photographed over and over again, like the bussed-in and coerced Saddam Hussein “supporters” at rallies in the old Iraq who vanished the instant television cameras stopped rolling. Take a look at the excellent 2003 film Live from Baghdad, written by CNN producer Robert Weiner, and you will see a dramatization of this stunt for yourself.

Read the whole thing, things aren't as bad as our anti-Bush western MSM want us to believe. I am sure if a Democrat were to get elected in November by December things will all of a sudden change to a much sunnier picture about how we have won the war and can come home now.
