Steyn does have a way with words. Thanks for the post Liz.

A terrorist is an opportunistic warrior. If he can kill the president, he will. But if he can't, he'll kill you. Imagine that.

Words to remember.

Bump.

The symbols of harshness in the films of WW-II, by virtue of contrasting images, tend to mislead the American people into thinking that Hitler overwhelmed Germany, and anti-Semitism overwhelmed the Germans.

But we now witness how the loss of individual courage among the Germans, is really what was necessary for the darkness to prevail over people who should know better.

As hard as it was for the Germans to see --- repeat, to see --- themselves in their darkest hour, so it is now true for Americans.

We look around and still much of our lives seems "normal" and orderly.

But Americans are now different and afraid to act in defense of our neighbors.

I probably did not "know a soul" among the dead of 11 September, but they were my neighbors.

I have not lost that.

"If we can't get outraged — not sad, not weepy, not candle-in-the-windy, but outraged.../ — then we're really in trouble"

This is a great article. I'll keep some quotes from this handy. Thanks for posting and the ping.

"Saying you love everyone in general is like saying you love no one in particular."

Bears repeating.

Thanks for the post! I have a horrible feeling that the Oprahfication of all of this is already well advanced.

Hey Oprah, did you see this quote? It certainly sends a chill up my spine.

"... , and it would have been too much to expect Oprah to forgo Oprahfying. "May we leave this place," she concluded, "determined to now use every moment that we yet live to turn up the volume in our own lives, to create deeper meaning, to know what really matters. What really matters is who you love and how you love.

Not right now, Oprah. What really matters is who we get to Afghanistan and what they do once they're there."

Absolutely, not right now, Oprah. Fuggeddaboutit !
Another great Mark Steyn article.
