I am still thinking about, troubled over, in fact continuing an exchange earlier this evening with two fellow Americans. Neither agreed with my assertion that freedom is an abstraction, and so is evil, and so is terrorism. Fighting terrorism or evil is insane. What I wish I'd been alert enough to say, when they strongly rejected my view, is "OK, so you're going to fire a missile, at terrorism, at evil? How do you do that? I think you mean you're going to do what the twin towers destroyers did, no?"

People who fake terrorist attacks such as sending powder in letters should be jailed for life.
