Priceless, Stanley, thanks for sharing.

On a serious note, I thought for sure before I clicked on the link that Stanley must have been giving us a story about Sinn Fein. That is the latest feel-good story making the policy rounds: It happened there, so why not in the Islamic world. Obviously, I hope Gerry Adams and his thugs really have changed their spots — color me skeptical and not quite ready to hang the “Mission Accomplished” sign on Belfast. But assuming hopefully, and for argument’s sake, that we really are seeing in Northern Ireland the taming of a terrorist organization by a political process, I think anyone who is confident that the Irish experience translates into the jihadist context understands neither.
