Skies Over Dublin Darken With Moonbats

Clifford May reports in the Boston Herald on a conference at the University Philosophical Society of Trinity College in Dublin devoted to debating the resolution "This house believes that George W. Bush is a danger to world stability." Unsurprisingly, the event drew more than a few moonbats out of their caves — many of whom were members of the press.

British journalist Patrick Cockburn, who characterized the struggle against Baathists and al Qaeda in Iraq as an "old-fashioned imperial war," dismissed terrorism as "something people believe in like they believe in witchcraft. What does it mean?" Whatever it means, according to Cockburn, President Bush "is not fighting terrorism, he is provoking it." The audience of impressionable students applauded this clever statement vigorously. Presumably if Bush pursued the "bend over and spread them" policy perfected by France, America would be as free as France of Muslim violence.

Irish journalist Richard Downes recited Humpty Dumpty and called Bush a "maniacal egg killer." Nursery rhymes were an apt source of metaphors for this audience, which found the comparison of Humpty Dumpty with Iraq very witty.

BBC Middle East bureau chief Tim Llewellyn announced that "George Bush is a threat to world peace on so many levels we can't begin to discuss it." This left him with no choice but to discuss something else instead. He chose to pontificate on his notion that Arafat was right to turn down the suicidally generous offers made by Israel at Camp David in 2000, apparently because they did not include the immediate eradication of Israel.

What liberal media?

Not that all of the far-left kooks on hand were journalists. The former British ambassador to Uzbekistan held Bush responsible for crimes committed by that country's rulers, raving that he had done it for Enron, that the goal of Americans is to "get at the oil and gas so they can guzzle it," and that "George Bush talks directly to God. He is the most dangerous religiously inspired fanatic in the world."

The response to this absurd remark was "enthusiastic ovation." What a relief — if Osama bin Laden and the soon-to-be-nuclear jihadists running Iran are less dangerous than President Bush, we have nothing to worry about.
