A really good Christopher Hitchens article sent by my friend James Wynne about the “policy” of terrorists. One of the side points Hitchens makes is that the terrorists aren’t thinking about the enemy and reflecting, they are simply acting on their ideology. To me, this is an issue I have with the intellectuals who look at our enemy and seek to understand something of ourselves or our complicity in their crime. It is an issue, but it was an issue a generation ago.

Now, we have all participated to have created a world in which men like these exist to exercise solely to fulfill a violent destiny of fundamental hatred. We should be addressing those concerns now and work for justice everyday, but it is not how to prevent more suicide bombings tomorrow or five years from now.

Anyway, I said I would stop posting political things, so there is little mention of it here vis a vis current events. Without James’ kindly im, I wouldn’t have had this to send along at all.
