Abu Wabu

In "Bless The Beasts And Children", Michael Yon traces Al Qaeda's rampage through an Iraqi village near Baqubah. These are the animals to whom the idiot left would gleefully, with much self-congratulation for their progressive thinking, grant U.S. Constitutional rights and try in American courts.

Warning: the photos are horrendous, portraying as they do the savagery of the Islamofascist mind and, by extension, the sheer intellectual barrenness of the idiot left.

Victor Davis Hansen is reminded of Thucydides' accounts of similar savagery:

Michael Yon's description ("Bless the Beasts and Children") of al Qaeda's savagery in the hamlet of Diyala, Iraq - men, women, children, and animals butchered - eerily recalls Thucydides' description in the 7th book of his history of the sudden Thracian attack on the tiny town of Mycalessus:

The Thracians bursting into Mycalessus sacked the houses and temples, and butchered the inhabitants, sparing neither youth nor age, but killing all they fell in with, one after the other, children and women, and even beasts of burden, and whatever other living creatures they saw...

He finishes with a politically-incorrect thought on barbarism and cowardice:

...the Thracian race, like the bloodiest of the barbarians, being even more so when it has nothing to fear. Everywhere confusion reigned and death in all its shapes; and in particular they attacked a boys' school, the largest that there was in the place, into which the children had just gone, and massacred them all. In short, the disaster falling upon the whole town was unsurpassed in magnitude, and unapproached by any in suddenness and in horror.
