Turning All Four Cheeks

The EU, that great "Soft Power" leader, is showing just how soft it can be.

The European Union condemned widespread violence in the West Bank, but said neither the attacks on EU offices in Gaza City nor the kidnapping of at least 10 foreigners would affect urgent aid granted to Palestinians last month before a Hamas-led government takes office.

Of course, you cannot blame the Palestinian Government for the actions of the mindless thugs that kidnap people and raid EU offices. Unless of course, the Palestinian Government are a bunch of mindless thugs.
