A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Huh?

The Boston version of the Metro – the free paper familiar to commuters everywhere – had an article today on some Jewish protesters rallying against Israel’s actions in Lebanon. But what I found puzzling was this quote from Josh Block, spokesman for AIPAC:

“These people should protest against a genuine threat like Iran’s former president, a man who lavishes praise on Hezbollah —which kills more Americans than any group of terrorists,” Block said.

Er…al-Qaeda, anyone? And why is the former president of Iran such a grave threat?
