Once in a great while, something comes along which really makes me think.

This piece certainly did. (Via InstaPundit.)

The problem is, I am supposed to be doing my Christmas cards. I have less than two hours to get to the damned post office before it closes, or else it will be too late!

I am very concerned about alliances (or collusion) between various peoples who believe in the concept of good as opposed to right.

Particularly, I am afraid that Americans may be too linear in their thinking to understand why groups which hate each other -- even to the point of wanting to kill each other -- would nonetheless work together, fight together, fund each other, and (most troubling of all) commit suicide together, in order to achieve the common aim of destroying the right.

That's what the Committee of Three is all about. Hizballah (Shia -- via Imad Mughniyah) joined forces with Osama bin Laden (Sunni).

Americans should not allow their natural tendency to focus on divisions to cause them to lose sight of such alliances.

(Of course, where else can you find a country which still cannot decide whether the good was defeated by the right or the right was defeated by the good in its own Civil War?)

More later, I hope....
