Not really, but bear with me a sec. One of the things that's really starting (to put it mildly) to get on the nerves of 24 watchers is that every year the same people make the same mistakes over and over and over again. Not similar mistakes, mind you, but the exact same mistakes. Like not listening to Jack (they really should know by now that Jack is always right) and like believing that, this time (as opposed to every other time), the terrorists will really let the hostages go/reveal the location of the bomb/give themselves up and start playing nice if CTU or the President (usually both) just give them what they supposedly want (which always turns out to be a cover for what they really want). It's just not believable. Right.
Which brings me to Daniel Pipes' comments on the 'roadmap' on his blog today.
The plan was born a bureaucratic monstrosity; of its myriad faults, grown perhaps the most fundamental was its assumption that if only the Palestinians were given just a tad more of this or that, they would finally recognize the benefits of harmonious co-existence with a Jewish state of Israel. Not to have learned by now that Palestinians have larger and more aggressive ambitions than to live side-by-side with Israel implies living in a state of denial.
Denial indeed. But see? To all its detractors, I say: 24. It's actually reality TV.
Update: Oh yeah, I was waiting for this.
Also: Is this right out of a 24 plot -- or what? (via LGF) We do know what happens next.
