(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Thursday, June 27, 2002
The guy responsible for this blog entry at Global News Watch is such a blithering idiot that he thinks that Charley Reese is a leftist. If you can't tell your left from your right, you probably shouldn't have a blog.
Anyway, our blogger, Howard Owens, makes the usual, baseless charges of anti-Semitism and trots out a poll to "prove" that Americans care about the Middle East. (No, dear. Americans care about terrorists from the Middle East coming to America.)
Then we get this howler: "Israel is the front line in this war. It must be protected at all costs. If Israel cannot be saved, none of us, including Mr. Reese, can be saved."
Oh, please. If Israel magically disappeared tomorrow (and, no, I am not calling for the destruction of Israel), the main reason the Islamic world dislikes us would vanish, too. Don't give me the usual crap about how they hate our way of life. Polls taken in the Middle East show that most Muslims love our way of life. It's our foreign policy they can't stand. posted by Franklin8:50 AM
