The British do it too

"Photographs that appear to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners were published Wednesday by newspapers in Britain." Washington Post.

Isn't it nice to know that Europeans, whom the left look up to as paragons of moral virtue (Nazi Germany notwithstanding), behave the same as Americans?

The French certainly are European and look how they treated the Rainbow Warrior. Not to mention how enthuisiastically the support the PLO.

From the Dowd column:

"If you multiply 1,370 dead soldiers times zero weapons of mass destruction, that equals zero achievement for Ms Rice..."

Why would you *multiply* these things? If you were trying to create an index of goodness or badness, you would divide...for example, automobile-passenger-miles divided by automobile-accidents would be an index for goodness for auto safety. Passenger-miles *times* accidents would be a meaningless number.

If Dowd is going to use math as a metaphor to put people down, maybe she'd better learn something about it.
