Its a good question whether the Bush administration has the will to treat all enemies of freedom and democracy with the same reasonable contempt that they showed to Yasser Arafat. Probably not. But you have to give them credit for doing so whenever they can. Gerry Adams, the Godfather of Sinn Fein, a gagle of organized criminals masquerading as freedom fighters, has been invited to the White House for St. Paddy's Day merriment for several years now. But not this year. This from Gerard Baker at the London Times:
IT WAS GOOD not to see Gerry Adams at the White House yesterday. Not to have to watch as the leader of the free world exchanged pleasantries and shamrock with the Hibernian branch of the International Brotherhood of bin Ladens and Zarqawis. Not to have to listen as that charmless brogue touchingly recommitted itself to the promotion of peace and justice for all. Not to have to turn away in disgust at the whole grisly exercise in hypocrisy and cant and shamelessness.
Instead the White House hosted the McCartney sisters, whose brother was ruthlessly murdered by a bunch of IRA thugs. In this world, that is what passes for progress.
