Thinking Meat

Instapundit links to this little blurb at The End Zone:

CNN reports the head of Palestinian Hamas has issued a statement expressing outrage that Saddam would encourage martrydom in others, yet personally go down without a fight.

That is very unfair of Hamas. Killing yourself after so many others have committed acts of martyrdom to bring you back to power, well, that just strikes me as awfully inconsiderate.

On the other hand, no such limitation applies to Hamas's leaders, including Abdel Aziz Rantisi, whom Fox News helpfully describes as a doctor and a sometime poet. I therefore expect him to strap a bomb to himself and his family, and send them out on martyrdom operations, any day now.

. . .aaaany day now. . .
