There's a reason world-class columnist moonbat and Florence King plagiarist Molly Ivins isn't Secretary of State or a military strategist--she's a world-class moonbat, for one, and because she seems to think that Fox News' habit of reporting the news neutrally translates into firing the starter pistol for World War III. Witness her latest ideological non-sequitur in her column in the Chicago Tribune:

Another citizen looking a bit nonplussed at the G8 summit was Tony Blair, listening as Bush, noisily chewing with his mouth open, said, "See, the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop ... I feel like telling [UN General Secretary Kofi Annan] to get on the phone with [Syrian President Bashar Assad] and make something happen [in resolving the Middle East conflict]."

Could he possibly believe that? You could probably suggest unleashing Israel on Syria, except that the Israelis don't seem interested in the program. One, they don't know who would replace President Assad. And two, it could get them stuck there for years --kind of like, oh, you know, that great democracy "what'sitsname."

Meanwhile, the nation needs to take a break from Fox News Channel and get a grip--the 24/7 drumbeat for war is silly.

Here's a little rule I just came up with. Anyone who uses the word "silly" to describe world events of the most life-and-death kind herefore forfeits his or her right to be taken seriously. Next.
