More "Perfect Sense" From al-Reuters

clipped from powerlineblog.com

What's notable, for those who are connoisseurs of this particular form of insanity, is Reuters' caption:

Female Palestinian would-be suicide bombers attend a news conference in Gaza May 21, 2007. Violent Muslim, Christian and Jewish extremists invoke the same rhetoric of 'good' and 'evil' and the best way to fight them is to tackle the problems that drive people to extremism, according to a report obtained by Reuters.

Yes, it all makes perfect sense: you have to watch out for those dangerous wackos who talk about "good" and "evil." Meanwhile, Reuters is looking for photos of Christian and Jewish suicide bombers and will publish them as soon as they can find them in their archives.

It's hard to be positive about the chaos that is now raging in Gaza, and, apparently, spreading to the West Bank. But perhaps it's just as well that, for the time being at least, there is no Palestinian authority to which the Israelis can be pressured to surrender.
