Teaching a Pig to Sing
I have a Liberal friend. Yes, I know. It's frustrating, but he's a good-hearted guy.
A few weeks ago, he was repeating the Democrat "talking point" that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terror. So a few days ago, I e-mail these excerpts from The Analysis of the Bin Laden Tapes at "Winds of Change."

You were saying that Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror.
Osama bin Laden's video taped release for the Iraqi People.

If Osama Bin Laden says that Iraq is central to the war on terror, should not all concerned nations be jumping in there to help? This is my friend's response. If you read my last post on Cognitive Dissonance, you'll recognize the symptoms.

A. Don't put words in my mouth.
B. Don't send me this stuff.

You can try to teach a pig to sing, but it's a waste of time and annoys the pig.

I now address my speech to the whole of the Islamic nation: Listen and understand. The issue is big and the misfortune is momentous. The most important and serious issue today for the whole world is this Third World War, which the Crusader-Zionist coalition began against the Islamic nation. It is raging in the land of the two rivers. The world's millstone and pillar is in Baghdad, the capital of the caliphate.
The whole world is watching this war and the two adversaries; the Islamic nation, on the one hand, and the United States and its allies on the other. It is either victory and glory or misery and humiliation. The nation today has a very rare opportunity to come out of the subservience and enslavement to the West and to smash the chains with which the Crusaders have fettered it.
