The Accidental Terrorist

My brother sent me this link to a recent Mark Steyn article on the Mumbai massacre along with this note:

Great piece from National Review Online.

International journalists are unable to describe the Islamic attackers last month in Mumbai as "terrorists".

"Militants", "gunmen", and "practitioners" are the terms they use so not as to insult our Islamic friends.

What is also noted is how the official newsletter of the Democratic Party, The New York Times, wrote, "It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental (emphasis his) hostage scene."

How "lucky" could the terrorists have been? In a country of over 1.2 billion people, with a Jewish population between 5,000 and 10,000, they accidentally stumble upon the Chabad House; a non-descript building which served as the Jewish center of Mumbai.

Why is it again that we don't trust liberals with protecting us from terrorists?


Indeed.
