This is an enormously powerful article. It clarifies the true nature of our struggle to rebuild the temple of Constitutional government. I am sending this to the Knish Ping List as a seminal work of immense value to us all.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

Solzhenitsyn added that using one's own personal scale to decide things for everyone always results in the triumph of lies and violence:

Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying ... and the only way lies can hold out is by violence. Whoever has once announced violence as his method must inexorably choose lying as his principle. [The lie] does not always or necessarily go straight for the gullet; usually it demands of its victims only allegiance to the lie, only complicity in the lie. The simple act of an ordinary courageous man is not to take part, not to support lies! Let that [lie] come into the world and even reign over it, but not through me. Once lies have been dispelled, the repulsive nakedness of violence will be exposed – and hollow violence will collapse.

Good piece - but then again anyone standing on the shoulders of Solzhenitsyn tends to look brilliant... "the sum of Truth resides not in the will of man, but in the mind and heart of God ..."
