This morning our thoughts are with the families of the two U.S. service members killed in action in Jordan and our prayers for the safe return of a missing service member.
Welcome and thank you to all our new, returning and renewing members this week.
Muriel from North Carolina writes:
I'm not going anywhere. As to the war, I wish Mark was wrong but I have no reason to believe that he is. And even if he was, when would we find out and would that be enough reason to leave? ... No, you're stuck with me.
Thanks Muriel. If you are not yet a member or your membership has lapsed, we invite you to join today.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked at SteynOnline:
~ Mark celebrated one of the most beautiful melodies ever written: "The Merry Widow Waltz".
~ On Monday, guest columnist Barbara Kay observed "there is no such thing as spontaneous moral fervour in the political class..."
~ In Tuesday's column, Mark considered the grim reality that "they want you dead". It was our most read article of the week.
~ Laura Rosen Cohen was here behind the Clubland Q&A microphone on Wednesday fielding questions from Mark Steyn Club members live around the planet. In case you missed it, here's the action replay.
~ Laura was back the following day with her excellent round-up of links from the internet.
~ On Friday, guest columnist Tal Bachman continued his series on the art of translation.
~ In this week's episode of Mark Steyn on the Town, Mark played the palace and tried the St Tropez twist. Plus: songs for swingin' superheroes and a cavalcade of Non-Stop Number Ones.
~ For our Saturday night movie, Rick McGinnis reviewed "Blow-Up".
Don't forget to tune-in later today for Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 5:30pm in the UK/ 12:30pm North American Eastern Time.
