A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

They pointed this out over at National Review Online's blog, "The Corner." But I thought I'd link to it too.
Fighting between Israeli troops and armed Palestinians erupted in Bethlehem late Tuesday with dozens of gunmen forcing their way into the Church of the Nativity, one of the holiest sites in Christianity.
Witnesses said there were dead bodies in front of the church.
"Can you imagine? Can you believe it? They are attacking the Church of Nativity, the Syrian Orthodox Church, and burn and demolish mosques," said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who remains under siege in his Ramallah headquarters, in an interview with Qatari television.
Boy does Yasser have huge cajones! I think it's safe to say that they're trying to liberate the Church of the Nativity from your thugs Yasser. Hint: If you really want to try to get the American public on your side, stay away from Christian holy places. The vast majority of Americans identify themselves as Christians and it's not a good idea to try to get gunfire directed at churches.
Americans don't like anyone burning or demolishing mosques either, but if these sites are so holy, then maybe your gunmen shouldn't use them as bunkers or supply depots.
