Brief Observations

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, March 6. 2007 14:49
Observation #1: There is no difference between "secret vice squads" and "mafia enforcers." And, by whatever name you choose to call them, they run the "Palestinian" territories.

Mohammed al-Shaer, 19, sits at his music shop in the town of Khan Younis southern Gaza Strip, Tuesday March 6, 2007. A note stuck to the door of his tiny music shop warned Mohammed al-Shaer several months ago that selling tapes and CDs of popular Arabic music was 'haram,' or forbidden by Islam. Al-Shaer paid no heed until a bomb went off outside his business this week — apparently the work of what Palestinian security officials now suspect may be a secret 'vice squad' of Muslim militants.

Observation #2: All of the "good intentions" in the world and $1.89 still only purchases a Venti Starbucks coffee. And "Good Intentions" plus $12 billion buys a lot of guns. It certainly won't do anything to appease those who hate you. With that in mind, notice the posters of "martyrs" which have been tacked on top of this "Feel Good" art project, along with the "pockmarks" in the poster, which I suspect are also not accidental. (It actually looks like someone had plastered other posters on top, and they had been removed.)

Paved with good intentions, indeed.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
