Move Out, Get a Job, and Share an Apartment with Southeast Asia

Strengthening my thesis that he is the Andy Rooney of the More Rubble Less Trouble set, Victor Hanson tells the Middle East to grow up, already!

No, really. He tells a loosely defined geographic region to grow up. Hanson gets extra points for rehearsing the moldy old "Islamists hate Western culture, but they use cellphones!" bit as if it were a devastating "gotcha!" It's gotten so that pointing out that there isn't a cliche in existence which Hanson won't boldly deploy in his war against accurately assessing the Islamist phenomonon is itself a cliche.
