Regime change and the common welfare

OpinionJournal: If regime change allowed Germany and Japan to start producing BMWs and Sony TV sets rather than death camps and kamikaze pilots, then we say three cheers for regime change. [this item]

Palestinians vs children

How sick can a culture be? Sending children to a certain death. Jerusalem Post: Another reason Palestinian parents allow and even encourage their children to get involved [in suicidal attacks] is the financial incentive offered to families of "martyrs." The PA furnishes a cash payment $2,000 per child killed and $300 per child wounded. [Further,] Saudi Arabia announced that it had pledged $250 million as its first contribution to a billion-dollar fund aimed at supporting the families of Palestinian martyrs. [this item]
