This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
WSJ: Jihad TV in Europe - 'It's time to shut down Hezbollah and Hamas broadcasts to the Continent...Their propaganda notwithstanding, Hamas and, two years ago, Hezbollah suffered devastating military defeats that may diminish their ability to attack Israel with rocket fire. But these Iranian-backed terrorist organizations are deploying another dangerous weapon in their war against Western democracies -- terrorist television stations...'
These are the types of social/political and legislative issues wherein free speech "absolutists" and Multi-culti ideologues begin to make some telling arguments. Broadcast and cable content cannot be entirely or absolutely controlled, but there is no reason western forms of governance should allow Hamas's, Hezbollah's, et al.'s content to be freely promulgated.
