The Pendragon's Hall

I have not been paying much attention to the uproar caused by irreverent Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohommed but I can't say I am much surprised. Christians are supposed to sit there and take it when the Virgin Mary is covered in pornography and elephant dung or when a crucifix is submerged in human urine, yet touch the Prophet Mohommed and get ready for all hell to break loose and all the Arabs to escape into the real world. Perhaps instead of democracy what the Arab world needs is a course on how to win friends and influence people. On second thought, however, that would be pointless, as they will always have a sympathetic crowd among the Anybody-But-America gallery. I rarely find left-of-center bloggers who provide thoughtful and provocative insights that I would encourage but the Bull-Moose Blog has done just that. Check it out here.
