Just want to make a quick point here.
Yesterday something happened that as far as I recall is unique in my politically aware adult life.
Demonstrations happened in an Arab capital. Not unique...happens a lot.
Thousands attended. Not unique...happens a lot.
The demonstrators were pro-democracy and anti-terror. Arabs. Thousands of them.
Organized by Arabs.
They carried signs rejecting the hijacking of Islam by violent radicals. They carried signs denigrating the so-called journalism of al Jazeera and al Arabiyah.
They represent the very people upon whom the hope of the Middle East resides.
And yet, go to CNN.com or Foxnews.com or abcnew.go.com...and there is no mention of it on their "front pages". If it is there at all you have to already know about it and seek it out.
Instapundit does a good job highlighting the media in denial.
And again I will mention Healing Iraq because they were there.
This isn't shameful because its something I care about. It is shameful because we have invested lives and money to achieve this but it seems the media don't want you to witness the success.
And that is shameful.
