Last week, Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens&#8211;who previously gushed over an extremist imam and other Hezbollah-supporting &#8220;protesters&#8221; in Iran&#8211;declared that Iraqis &#8220;embrace&#8221; democracy more than we Westerners do because they desire freedom more.  With their choice of the decidedly un-free Koran and Islamic law as the basis for their laws, Christians being [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t really recommend any of the new releases at the box office, this weekend.  And, oddly, they are so bad that the Matt Damon lefty anti-war movie is the best of the bunch.  But that&#8217;s relative . . . a big fat relative.
