_ Tuesday, 13 December 2005 Last Updated Tue, 13 Dec 2005 02:53 Race Riot Down Under_ (http://www.spectator.se/stambord/?p=1062) Disgusting. Imagine if this occurred not in Sydney, but New York...UPDATE: Another night of rioting, according to the Times, with Lebanese gangs responding to yesterday's violence, which, according to most news accounts, began when white youths attacked immigrant beach-goers (see photo above). This is, of course, no excuse for the car-loads of bat-wielding youths decending [...] _Isn?t this the paper bellyaching about Fox News?bias?_ (http://www.spectator.se/stambord/?p=1061) "Anti-semitism is a knife that Israel holds to Europe's throat."- Dagens Nyheter Middle East correspondent Lotta Schüllerqvist on the Israeli "conspiracy" to promote positive news coverage abroad. If such a movement exists--and it doesn't--then, in Sweden, the evil Likkudniks have failed colossally. _Slate?s Pinter Roundup_ (http://www.spectator.se/stambord/?p=1060) Slate has a useful Pinter roundup (and the Spectator is cited, for good measure). More from us on tonight's Nobel ceremony is forthcoming. Just watching Per Wästberg's ludicrious encomium to Mr. Sandinista on SVT. Not as absurd as Ms. Schottenius's vapid "hårt, rått och macho" column, but close enough.Previously: Schottenius on "Nobel purity"Per quote of [...] _More from the Ham-Handed Bush Administration_ (http://www.spectator.se/stambord/?p=1059) The only Europeans that have a generally positive view of America? Poland, of course. So what do we do to ingratiate ourselves to the Poles? Why, set up secret prisons in Warsaw, of course.It gets tougher to argue the case for an aggressive defense against terrorism when those charged with bringing the fight to the [...] _More Pinter Lies_ (http://www.spectator.se/stambord/?p=1058) Once more, into the breach, dear friends. Of all the ludicrous revisionism in Pinter’s tub-thumbing Nobel speech, it is the falsification of Nicaraguan history that bothers me most (it is an area of particular interest to me). As I quoted below, Pinter paints a picture of a perfect revolution, interrupted only by American barbarism: They [...] Username

There were no skeptics, expressing puzzlement at the improbability of it all. Letters pages and opinion columnists were conspicuously silent. A _sole, obliquely positive reference _ (http://esbati.blogspot.com/2005/11/modet-att-sga-sanningen.html) in Sweden’s nascent blogosphere directed readers to yet another atrocity perpetrated by American soldiers. It was an eerie collective shoulder-shrug, to be sure. For the story, published in Scandinavia’s largest circulation newspaper, Aftonbladet, is indeed troubling. _Read More..._ (http://www.spectator.se/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=) Neutering Sartre at Dagens Nyheter - Michael Moynihan It’s a familiar site on campuses across America. The self-esteem-challenged student, sporting patches of asymmetric, faux-Beatnik facial hair, cloistered in the corner of the campus café, sipping an espresso, fiddling with a pack of Gitanes, head buried in Jean-Paul Sartre. He is a most common species, engaging in that time-honored and most loathsome of university traditions—often nauseatingly referred to as "finding ones self." _Read More..._ (http://www.spectator.se/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=) The Pope’s Visits to the Middle East Remembered - Steven Stalinsky To mark the turn of the century, Pope John Paul II made a historic visit to the Middle East.
