This got sent to me by a non-believer. I think his arguments are pretty weak and his history as a journalist raises some eyebrows. What do you guys think?

That is NOT the NYTIMES, it is the Wall Street Journal.

The author sounds like a dumbass.

He speaks of whether we should keep arming Israel and other Arab countries, and if it's a good idea or not - his view is that it depends on the outcome in ten years!! So i guess as long as they aren't attacking each other, we should keep feeding them taxpayer money (i.e. bribes).

Then in a later paragraph, the author says that "McCain may be on to something" because of his lame joke about Alqaeda wanting to trade burkas, and one way tickets - as if this lame ass joke is an argument against trading with Arab countries.

I suppose the author is inline with the other neocon candidates promoting overt bigotry against "the other." I guess that's acceptable these days since 9-11. Shame, shame on what is happening to this country.
