POPSFear of Terrorism Lowest Since 9/11 More bad news for McCain. "Sen. McCain's greatest strength is in foreign policy, particularly his reputation as the candidate best able to fight the war on terror," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director. "As the threat of a terrorist attack continues to recede in the mind of the American voter, the state of the economy and other domestic issues are likely to become even more important. That would be good news for Sen. Obama, since the Democrats currently beat or tie the Republicans on every issue except terrorism." The piece also cites Bush's low approvals as a source of worry for Team McCain.

POPSObama Aide Suggests 'Winnie The Pooh' Foreign Policy Actually, this is the best thing I've heard from the Obama Camp. I suppose we can learn something from Winnie the Pooh. I doubt, however, the Islamists that want to kill all infidels would be very impressed with this sensitive approach.

POPSObama's "historic" speech on race: retrospective "Obama’s Philadelphia oration was an exercise in contextualization. In one particularly egregious play on white guilt, Obama had the audacity to suggest that whites should be ashamed they were ever surprised by Wright’s remarks: “The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright’s sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour of American life occurs on Sunday morning.” On Tuesday, Obama declared that he himself was surprised at Wright’s outrages. But hadn’t Obama told us that surprise about Wright is a result of white ignorance of black churches brought on by America’s history of segregated services?

POPSHollywood to produce Atlas Shrugged I'm beginning to believe Angelina Jolie might actually have some sense. Her recent remarks pertaining to Africa and Iraq suggest she has a decent mind. This movie proves it. I am a bit skeptical in the ability of Hollywood to do this film justice. It will be interesting.

POPSWhy sanctions on Iran could work "If Iran is cut off by its major trade and investment partners, Tehran may just change course—because there is nothing the regime fears more than a counterrevolution by Iran's dissatisfied, economically disadvantaged youth."

POPSWhat to do about Iran - From an Editorial in Washington Times By: By Tom McInerney and Fred Gedrich Also from Editorial: Iran poses a clear and present danger to the United States. And President Bush appears poised to act if its behavior is not modified. During the dark days leading to World War II, many European and American leaders mistakenly thought they could bargain with or isolate their countries from sinister forces threatening mankind. Their failure to recognize right from wrong and good from evil prevented them from promptly acting collectively against that gathering threat. As a result, 60 million died, including 6 million Jews. History shows appeasement is a failed policy. Let's ensure it doesn't repeat itself.
