Two days before Shimon Peres assumed office,
I predicted that Israel's government would be freed from much of the charade of appearing to deliberate over releasing Arab terrorists with 'blood on their hands' because Peres would simply pardon them:
Prediction: Releasing terrorist murderers will be easier in the future now that Shimon Peres has been made President by Olmert and company. Leftists don't need to tone down their true desires when they no longer face reelection.
Today, as predicted,
Shimon Peres pardoned a horrific child-murdering terrorist, Samir Kuntar. The release is in preparation for Ehud Olmert's trading of Kuntar for two kidnapped soldiers who are presumed dead. Kuntar has written a letter vowing to continue in jihad. In response, there is now
unanimous ululation within the Arab and Muslim Worlds. (Consider that for a moment, those who believe that extremists are a minority.) If there is a single dissenting voice, please email me and I will update this post for accuracy).
Why are accurate predictions important in political analysis? For the same reason they are relevant in science--a hypothesis is only valid if it can explain future data. Leftists are reliably wrong in their predictions, which is why their ideology is reliably destructive.
