Canadian paper celebrates triumph of democracy in Syria

This isn't just counting your chickens before they hatch; it's counting your chickens while somebody's making an omelet with the eggs your waiting to hatch.

Jonathan Kay has got the Syrian Free Army toppling not just the Assad regime, but, hold on to your hat, Hezbollah as well!

Mr. Kay is way too far down the highway of wishful thinking for me to even try to catch up!

For all the gloating his article evinces, there doesn't seem to be any awareness that the heavy lifting on the ground in Syria isn't being done by a "rag-tag army" of freedom loving secularists. It's being done by hard core Islamist extremists.

When they eventually do triumph, they won't be eager to cede power to the "Free Syria" crowd doing the light lifting in London and Washington. Nor will they love America, Israel, or the West in general, as the delusional Mr. Kay assumes.

That's when the real war in Syria will start.

As for his claim that the Syrian revolution is home-grown, he should know better. His bio informs us that he is a fellow of The Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, one of the right wing American front groups that's been  busy fomenting "home-grown" change in Syria for years.

New York Times reveals new Egypt leader is Muslim!

Who knew! So that's why they call themselves the "Muslim" Brotherhood?

The Times article is just chock full 'o scoops.

He's keen to spring Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman from his US jail cell for one.

There's a surprise! Who would have imagined that the Muslim Brotherhood would be interested in freeing convicted Muslim terrorists?

Spring has sprung!
