Steyn on the War on Terror

I know I have been rather lukewarm about the invasion and occupation of Iraq but it is difficult not to admire one of its chief proponents: Mark Steyn, here writing in the Spectator:

Really? Osama is replicating? That’s news to me...

Meanwhile, in Europe, the tinfoil-hat brigade has gone mainstream...

Indeed, the awesome divide between the postmodern sophists and everybody else is the real legacy of 11 September...

And does Miss Hawley really think Saddam is ‘gloating’ right now? His dynastic ambitions died with his sons, he’s kipping at the back of his second cousin’s donkey stall, and he’d kill for a new box of Quality Street but George Galloway’s nowhere in sight...

But the advantage of sour oppositionism is that whatever happens there’s always something to sneer at...

Even in the Hindu Kush at the all-U-can-eat scorpion buffet, you can’t dine out on 9/11 for ever...

I particularly liked the quote about oppositionists always having something to sneer at. Quite.
