Luttwak talks Bin Laden and Israel

I’ve often wondered why it was necessary to kill Osama. American military strategist Edward Luttwak, in a fascinating new interview in Tablet Magazine, has an excellent answer:

“They killed him because of the fact that if we captured Bin Laden, every Jihadist in the world would have been duty-bound to kidnap any American citizen anywhere and exchange him for Bin Laden.”

Luttwak also thinks constant conflict with the Arabs actually is good for Israel because it has produced an internal cohesion that might not otherwise exist. Read the whole interview here.

Airport refugees in Canada

Zahra Kamalfar and her children, who were forced to hole up for 10 months in a Moscow airport because the Putin gang didn’t want to insult its Iranian business partners, have finally made it to freedom, according to Snoopy the Goon.

"I am happy that her suffering is over. We all should be happy that she has escaped the talons of Iranian ‘security’ apparatus. Hopefully, she will be able to recover and lead a normal life after the tragic years in one of the most oppressive regimes in existence."
