As millions of immigrants take to the streets, Democrats sense an opportunity. With the President's poll numbers still abysmal, and the GOP Congress sinking as well, they may be right, but not for the reasons they think. The GOP is collapsing on the immigration issue because it is unable to present a united front. A majority of Americans want illegal immigration stopped, but there is significant disagreement about what to do with the 11 million illegals already here. If the GOP would simply get behind a tougher border security bill, to include a massive increase in the size of the Border Patrol, investment in new technologies and, yes, even a fence, they would probably be on firm political ground. By adding a provision that would turn the 11 million illegals into felons, the GOP stoked the fire that caused the big protests. It doesn't help that the President, Senator McCain and others want a 'guest worker' program, which sounds too much like amnesty to some, and it sounds like an end-around to our tradition of turning immigrants into citizens to others. Another colossal failure by the President and the GOP leadership, which will almost certainly lead to a debacle in November.

While European diplomats dither about Iran, promising toothless sanctions while almost pleading with Teheran to drop its nuclear program, Mark Steyn says only the utter decapitation of this regime will do, since they have been at war with us since 1979. Jimmy Carter didn't have the cajones to do anything about them at that time (the invasion of our embassy should have been treated as an invasion of our homeland, as an act of war), and subsequent administrations were unwilling to anything substantive, either. They have all kicked the can down the road, and the current administration looks to be taking the same course. Their descendants will curse them and their memory.

Is the media distorting the leak story? Jack Kelly thinks so, and he, as well as others like Christopher Hitchens, continue to point out that the evidence indicates Iraq was looking into acquiring "yellowcake" from Niger and, oh, by the way, Wilson was chosen to go there because his wife recommended him.

Mediocrity triumphs in France, according to Charles Krauthammer, as the politicians cave in to the demonstrators and move to repeal their new jobs law. Meanwhile, the Muslim underclass simmers. Can a real revolution be that far off?
