SHARIF KOUACHI: It was Abu Ghraib radicalized me. The Left's latest excuse.
WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST proves he's dumber than dirt (again): France attack might have been worse here, because guns.

Hmm. First, weapons are more heavily restricted in France, yet the terrorists had AK-47's, with rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). Those restrictions were working well, weren't they?

Second, French police officers are not always armed. Which might explain why there are two dead officers (one a woman; the other a Muslim) in Paris today.

Third, in America there is an infinitely higher (for the math deficient, even 0.0001 divided by zero is infinite) likelihood the terrorists would have encountered an armed citizen during their rampage.
