I went to an AIPAC Conference on Monday night and got to see Charles Krauthammer speak.
To summarize, he applauded the election of Hamas (somewhat tongue in cheek); declared the Oslo accords hollow; stressed his opinion that Arafat never really wanted peace, as evidenced by Arafat’s rejection of Barak’s offer in 2000; and said that building the fence was the right thing to do. He also commended Bush for his handling of the Middle-East conflict, adding that he’s ‘not sure why – and not sure if Bush knows why’ Bush did what he did (paraphrasing there).

And I don’t know about you, but I had no idea Krauthammer was disabled. He lost the use of his legs when he was a 22-year-old medical student. Oh yeah, and he’s also a strong supporter of stem cell research.
With that, I leave you. I take off for Denver tomorrow to commence my last hurrah before finals.

Dr. K is quite the philosopher. Wish I could get paid for sitting around being logically consistent all day. Wait, then I'd have to be logically consistent all day. Anyway, it's no surprise that his conclusions don't necessarily coincide with the policy positions of either the pro or anti Bush camps.

Krauthammer supports stem cell research? I didn't know he was a liberal who hates America.

Initially, I was put off by the headline, because I balk at building a wall, but Charles Krauthammer wrote <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/06/AR2006040601380.html" rel="nofollow">a good piece on immigration</a>. He makes the idea of a wall seem more palatable, and he suggests granting citizenship to immigrants who are here illegally.
