Reflection on your tax dollars going to your enemies

Great Ken Blackwell column at Townhall today on the folly of continuing to send US dollars to the Palestinians. Along the way, he offers some factoids I'd not been aware of.

For instance, had you ever thought about where Mahmoud Abbas got his doctorate?

Abbas was educated in the USSR. There, he got his Ph.D. at Moscow State University. His thesis topic was a denial of the Holocaust.

 But it's Blackwell's conclusion that makes plain the utter incoherence of the MEC's foreign policy:

World War II ended in unconditional surrender of our enemies. Congress declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941 and on Nazi Germany just days later (after Hitler declared war on us). The Second World War ended on September 2, 1945 on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. The most terrible war in human history lasted, for America, just 1365 days, or 3 years, 8 months, and 26 days.

The difference between total victory in World War II and this seemingly endless war on terror is simple: In those days, we only funded one side. The time is past, long past, when we should stop giving money to stealth terrorists and false friends.

State Departments driven by American principles don't spew nonsense about groups and nation-states with clear, foul intentions.  And they sure as hell don't send them money.
