Idiot of the Day: Michelle Malkin
By VictorM: Ring-wing blogger Michelle Malkin visited Iraq and "left Iraq with unexpected hope and resolve." Using her approach, I must signal to the world that there is zero crime rate in Brazil. See, I vacationed in that country for two weeks and I saw not one single crime. Not one! None. Therefore, the crime rate in Brazil is zero. That's right-wing lunatic logic for you.Labels: Iraq, michelle malkin

Christmas in Iraq
By VictorM: Wondering how Christians in Iraq may be celebrating Christmas, I found this, via Juan Cole: "The Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad appeared almost deserted on Christmas Eve. Christian celebrations of Christmas were limited to private homes. Iraqi Christians had announced last week that they would suspend official celebration, out of solidarity with the tragedy of the Iraqi people." Iraqi Christians, who had enjoyed relative freedom under the regime of Saddam Hussein, now face fear of attacks by powerful Islamic groups or Shiite militias. Few are making any use of the Christmas lights and decorations of yesteryear.
