It’s no surprise that Hamas considers the cutoff of foreign money to be “blackmail.” After all, that’s what a teenager always considers the threatened withholding of his allowance to be. “Dad! You can’t do that; it’s not fair!”...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MIDTOWN-MANHATTAN ELEVATOR AND AFGHANISTAN - and the difference between Romney and Obama
A truly great post from Reliapundit at The Astute Bloggers:
I took an elevator up to a client's offices today - as I do most days.
And - just like other days - the elevator was a microcosm of NYC, of America: there was me - a middle-aged Jew with 2 degrees, 2 Asian women, an African-American man, a young artist-type gal with a tattooed arm and body-piercings, a jerseyshore-type guy (or was he just a bad Elvis impersonator?), an old worn out man in an old worn out suit, a Latino bicycle messenger, and South Asian - probably Pakistani or Indian.
We probably represented every major faith: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam Judaism, atheism. And every generation still in the work-force.
And we were polite - even cordial: someone cracked a silly joke and we all laughed. Saying excuse me and thank you and carrying on - just going about our own business.
This would never happen in Afghanistan, or any other islamist dominated place.

GO READ THE REST.
