[Austin-ghetto-list] chickens and their roosting places

[telebob x]

Thanks to Joanne Greene on the KSAN list...I forward because this says it 
better than I can...



"The bombers of Manhattan represent fascism with an Islamic face, and
there's no point in any euphemism about it. What they abominate about
"the West," to put it in a phrase, is not what Western liberals don't like 
and can't defend about their own system, but what they do like about it and 
must defend: its emancipated women, its scientific inquiry, its separation 
of religion from the state.

Loose talk about chickens coming home to roost is the moral equivalent of 
the hateful garbage emitted by Falwell and Robertson, and exhibits about the 
same intellectual content.

Indiscriminate murder is not a judgment, even obliquely, on the victims or 
their way of life, or ours."

  Christopher Hitchens, in  The Nation
