Quote by David Frum, from, October 12, 20

By abrogating all moral standards in their war against Israel, Arab and Muslim leaders initiated a process of moral collapse that has ended by soaking their own societies in blood. The terror they intended to inflict only upon others has rebounded with a hundred times greater horror upon their own lands.http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.21369,filter.all/pub_detail.asp
