News stories to read

Two interesting articles this morning (hat tip to Lucianne.com) that should be read and printed out and read again later.

The first one is from David Warren at The Ottawa Citizen, it’s a tribute to Fritz Kraemer who recently died at the age of 95. He was a refugee from Germany, fought the reds (Communist) and the browns (Nazi) in the street of Germany before 1933. Once he came to the US, he spent his life fighting for freedom and would not make excuses or compromises with those who were the enemy. Kraemer denounced detente because it compromised the truth of freedom. He saw the war on terrorism in the same light, either you fight for freedom and truth, or you are helping the enemy. Recommend this story.

The second news story is from David Frum at the Telegraph. It’s a look at the demonstration in London due to President Bush’s visit and how the demonstrators are vilifying the two leaders who are working to insure the demonstrators can hold their rallies and not fear the police will send in the tanks to disperse the crowd. Another good article.
