Question of the Day

QuestionSoccer Dad wonders: Why doesn't the Washington Post's coverage of Israel's fight against Hamas match the paper's enthusiasm for Colombia's fight against FARC?

The Post doesn't show much sympathy for FARC terrorists and rightly applauds Colombia for taking decisive military action against the group. It hopes that Hugo Chavez's proven support for FARC will undermine him politically.

But somehow they can't muster the same enthusiasm for Israel defending itself and still call Fatah "moderate" despite its clear cooperation with Hamas. What is it about Palestinian independence that makes people lose all sense of reason? When fighting terrorists they must be shown no quarter. It's really as simple as that.
