Insanity

Yesterday's Washington Times included an article called, "U.S. miscalculated security for Iraq" that contained this gem:

"Officials say the prewar miscalculation is providing a new opportunity for the Bush administration. Iraq, like Afghanistan, has become a battlefield for fighting violent Muslim fundamentalists. A second U.S. victory in Iraq, after toppling Saddam, would deliver a significant defeat to Islamist terrorists and perhaps lessen their appeal in the Arab world, officials believe."

Oh my.

I can hear it now...

According to AP:

"Because he was a convicted felon, Tapia was prohibited from owning a firearm. Investigators were trying to determine how he obtained the weapon used in Wednesday's shooting."

Yet I'm sure that gun-grabbing politicans will seize upon yesterday's tragedy in Chicago to call for new restrictions on gun ownership.

They just don't get it: the most dangerous places to live in America are the places with the most stringent gun control laws!

(sigh)

Sometimes, I think it's all about controlling us, not handgun violence.
