O’REILLY: Then why — why doesn’t the rest of the world accept your analysis?
MALKIN: Because they are intoxicated. They are clouded by this moral equivalence that has set in over the world for the past several decades. And I think it behooves us to fight against that, to claw against that.
Because the manufactured outrage that Qana is not really about the deaths at Qana; it is something about much larger. It is about the jihad du jour that these — that members of the religion of perpetual outrage are always ginning up. I mean, if it’s not Qana, it’s something else.
O’REILLY: No, I got it. I got it. I got it.
MALKIN: It’s Gitmo, Abu Ghraib. It’s beauty pageants.
Beauty pageants, she says. Or how about this quote in a recent column from the scion of a celebrated neoconservative family, John Podheretx:
What if the tactical mistake we made in Iraq was that we didn't kill enough Sunnis in the early going to intimidate them and make them so afraid of us they would go along with anything? Wasn't the survival of Sunni men between the ages of 15 and 35 the reason there was an insurgency and the basic cause of the sectarian violence now?
Is this what Conservatism has become? There's another group of people who say that civilian casualties don't matter as long as they achieve their goals. They're called terrorists.

I afraid that is seems to be the case that so many are thinking the end justifies the means. Even if the means is total annihilation of trust, nature, hope and lives.
It truly is a sad day for humanity.
