I always used to avoid reading anything he'd written. And I mean anything.

And then one day, I saw a headline over his editorial and I realized a new day had arrived. How odd it is to AGREE with him.

That includes the editorial posted here.

Politics sure does make strange bedfellows. I now read and agree with Max Boot.

It has come to that!
