Aquila Non Capit Bin Ladens?

The best column I read this weekend is from Mark Steyn in the Chicago Sun-Times. He sets up our choices well and denies the popular myths about Canadian health care as only a Canadian can. He also attacks one of the left's bigger foreign-policy myths:

As for this Bush-failed-to-get-bin-Laden business, 2-1/2 years ago I declared that Osama was dead and he's never written to complain. There's no more evidence for his present existence than there is for the Loch Ness monster, which at least does us the courtesy of showing up as a indistinct gray blur on a photograph every now and again. Osama is lying low because he's in no condition to get up.

I concur. I will be more than a little surprised if anyone can produce any of the man's living tissue ever again.

Do read No time for Kerry's Europhile delusions.
