'Let's Roll' Nation Mired In 'Let's Roll Over' Mush

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Waiting to be interviewed on the radio the other day, I found myself on hold listening to a public service message exhorting listeners to go to 911day.org and tell their fellow citizens how they would be observing the 10th anniversary of the, ah, "tragic events."

There followed a soundbite of a lady explaining that she would be paying tribute by going and cleaning up an area of the beach. Great! Who could object to that? Anything else?

Well, another lady pledged that she "will continue to discuss anti-bullying tactics with my grandson." Marvelous. Because studies show that many middle-school bullies graduate to hijacking passenger jets and flying them into tall buildings?

Whoa, ease up on the old judgmentalism there, pal. In New Jersey, many of whose residents were among the dead, middle-schoolers will mark the anniversary with a special 9/11 curriculum that will "analyze diversity and prejudice in U.S. history."

Bravo. Styen at his best.

 

I heard him on Hugh Hewitt on my way home from work the other day and he was absolutely PO'd about this subject. He was on a rant.

 

And he was completely right.

I was dissapointed that Mr. Wright thinks terrorists should have been in civilian courts. How can he square this with what he must know about, for example, Pres. Clinton not gettting Bin Laden because there was no legal justification, or about the Gorelick wall, or a number of other key factors driven by jurisprudence-driven thinking that allowed the attacks to occur?

Steyn is great American ... from, uh, Canada.

 

Great article. Thanks for sharing.
