In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
One other reason why we might not have closed the Syrian border: maybe the foreign fighters aren't coming from Syria. Something like 50% of the suicide bombers are reportedly Saudi, and suicide bombing is the main tactic associated with the foreign fighters. Why would anyone expect Saudis to be coming from Syria? (So why don't we close the Saudi border? To ask the question is to answer it.)
