US considers regime change in Iraq once again. It was a mistake to rush to empower an elected government before establishing law and order. This government, made up of representatives from the very militias and insurgents fighting in Iraq, might have to be removed. It's about time the Bush administration finally came to that conclusion. Democrats will howl with outrage, as usual.

US military is planning for a long stay, maybe decades, in Iraq.

Lebanon intends to route militants hiding behind human shields in refugee camp. Non-combatants are caught in the cross-fire, but that's a natural part of war. The non-combatants could expel the militants, but they didn't. Militants can't exist in a vacuum. The community is involved. I think Lebanon is making the right move, but they'll be condemned for it.

Pat Buchanan calls the Bush/Senate immigration plan a path to national suicide. Fred Thompson predicts the bill will fail. Let's hope so. Boortz points to a Heritage Foundation report that claims illegal aliens cost us $89 billion in benefits every year. We can either make them leave and save that money, or multiply that number by the number of new incoming illegal immigrants. At least 1 blogger is threatening Google bombs. Thomas Sowell calls the bill a fraud. At least Kay Bailey Hutchison has learned from the mistakes of the 1986 amnesty law. Status. This may be the most expensive bill in history.

Boortz has some links telling us more about climate change. Civilization has lived through warmer climates, but we already knew that. It doesn't stop the global warming con-men from selling their snake oil.

30% of American Muslims under the age of 30 support suicide bombings of civilian targets! Why do we allow those people in the US?

Ralph Peters says Palestinians are to blame for their own problems. Israel doesn't have clean hands, but in 21st century, Israel has the moral high ground for returning occupied lands to Arab control, and the Palestinians have used that land to attack Israel and self-destruct.

Rich Lowry skewers Cuba's health care system and Michael Moore.

Phyllis Schafly doesn't like the Law of the Sea. It sounds abominable.
