Bennett Bites

Check out this snippet from an article written by William J. Bennett over at NRO:

Israel, ironically, is also one of the world's greatest exemplars of democracies.

In the wake of September 11, many argued that we brought the attack upon ourselves because of our support for Israel. Even were this true, we should no more end that support than we should eliminate religious freedom and women's rights in our country — hallmarks of our democracy that also engage the wrath of the terrorists who attacked us. And it beggars belief to think our support for Israel played much of any part for the attack upon us.

A massive occupation of Palestine does not make Israel one of the world's greatest exemplars of democracies. Puleeez. And, Osama did not attack us because of our religious freedom and women's rights - he attacked because we cozy up to Saudi Arabia and Israel (oh, and because he's a crazy man).
