Berlin Wall Redux

Sphere: Related Content

Walid Jumblatt, the Druze leader of Lebanon, has some important words that perhaps the Democrats should listen to. Charles Krauthammer reports on that and other amazing events taking place:

"It is strange for me to say it, but this process of change has started because of the American invasion of Iraq," Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt explained to David Ignatius of the Washington Post. "I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world. The Syrian people, the Egyptian people, all say that something is changing. The Berlin Wall has fallen. We can see it."

When Ronald Reagan declared that the unfreedom imposed by communism was simply unsustainable and that it should be not appeased or accommodated, but instead forced--by the power and will of free peoples--into the ash heap of history, he was ridiculed and patronized as a simpleton. Clark Clifford famously called him an amiable dunce. The amiable dunce went on to win the cold war.


I imagine Mini-minded Pundit (heretofore known as MMP) has issues with Krauthammer's portrayal of Reagan as the Communist crusher. To MMP I say; Sod off, swampy!

Note to MMP, I will berate you every day for daring to call out LGF and the Lizardoid minions (mignons???).
