I'm not giving Newsweak a pass just because our enemies are lunatics.
If we want to play down the traitorous acts of Newsweak by making the main focus the crazy Jihadists, we do so at our own risk. And, is it really news that the lunatic Jihadists would react this way?
Personally, I think the riots were always a minor part of this story. The fact that our MSM is so willing to undercut our war efforts, put more Americans and American troops at risk, and work so feverishly to tarnish our image at a time of war with their false reporting should be the main focus of this story. To ignore this just because our enemies are crazies is giving Newsweak a pass.
I disagree. I think the riots are THE story. When we talk about democracy in the Muslim world, we are likely to get something very bad. The war in in Iraq is going to end someday, for good or ill. But the dysfunctional mentality in the Muslim world is going to last well beyond the Iraq war.
Sorry, but I just can't get that upset at Newsweek. The media has been largely left wing for decades and has written worse things than this that did not see the response we are seeing now. I blame the Muslims 100%. Part of life is putting up with things we don't like to hear. As long as Muslims do not understand this, the world is in for tough times.
