Apropos that and a zillion other things you will have read lately, this:
So many times these past days, finding myself back in New York beneath skies of a 9/11 blue, I have heard an internal voice saying, "Oh, please." It was responding to complaints from the chattering classes that this was "murder," that there was no "justice," that Bin Laden's burial in the North Arabian Sea was "disrespectful." As if turning four planes into missiles and killing almost 3,000 people were not an act of war.
