David Frum complains about CAIR’s attempted suppression of his free speech. Maybe Frum would like to team up with Juan Cole to protest such tactics. Drop him a line and let’s see: dfrum@aei.org
Frum also writes the following:
- Speaking of free societies: The faking of the election in Ukraine should remind Europeans that they face more serious threats and much closer to home than the reelection of George W. Bush. To borrow an observation of Radek Sikorski’s, independent Russia can be a normal country with a democratic future: Russia plus Ukraine is the Russian empire, which can never be a democracy. And it was precisely the issue of Ukrainian independence – and thus Ukrainian democracy – that was at stake this weekend. The integrity of Ukrainian elections is not just an internal Ukrainian matter: It is a portent for the future of all Europe and all the West.
Russian empire? Russian empire?! He’s joking, right?
