Women Who Support Ending Dictatorships Are Hot

hot lebanese political demonstratorsInstapundit Glenn Reynolds stands accused of deliberately looking for photos of beautiful Lebanese women.

I say, can we help it if women who support ending dictatorships are hot?

It reminds me of something P.J. O'Rourke once said about how in politics you can tell which side is likely to be the victors: they'll be the ones with the most pretty women.

I also like Glenn's compare-and-contrast photos, and his question: who would you rather hang out with?

Speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that protests in Lebanon are only growing while Assad drags his feet.

Another current catch-phrase is the complaint that the nations of the world are divided into "haves" and the "have-nots." Observe that the "haves" are those who have freedom, and that it is freedom that the "have-nots" have not. ---Ayn Rand

Faster, please.

In my younger days I used to attend a Maronite church. Kind of made you recognize the possibilities.

I think I just figured out why the Muslims originally insisted that their women wear veils: They feared that if anyone knew how attractive their women were, they'd be invaded by jealous foreign men.

Judging from the girl on the right, I'd say their fears were justified.
