The crew here in Old Town Alexandria remains perhaps too naively amazed that the U.N. gets bombed by terrorists, and that doesn’t seem to upset the media’s internationalists and multilateralists at all against the bombers. It is only the latest excuse for the media-Democrat complex to explain the war is a failure.

So Jessica Stern writes in the NY Times that “America has created — not through malevolence but through negligence — precisely the situation the Bush administration has described as a breeding ground for terrorists: a state unable to control its borders or provide for its citizens’ rudimentary needs.”

That, unsurprisingly, leads to a spot this morning on CBS’s “Early Show.” (Actually, it’s always mildly surprising when it isn’t a segment on food, women’s health, or pet toys.) She repeats the mantra: “There’s increasing frustration with problems of the occupation, the difficulty in getting water, electricity, the lines for gasoline. That is helping the terrorist.”

No one said: Isn’t it perverse that terrorism is helping the terrorists instead of the anti-terrorists? Shouldn’t this bombing harden the resolve of the UN and the internationalists to fight terror?
