Oriana Fallaci is a Leftist. But she has no patience with the political correctness, the lies, the shibboleths, the pretensions, the anti-Western mentality of the post modern Left. As I read this essay of hers, for all of her secularism and atheism, I'm struck by her sensitivity, intelligence, candor, and penetrating judgment that have made her a journalistic legend. She's lived a remarkable life and there are few people like her around in the world anymore. Certainly I'm hard pressed to think of another writer who doesn't spare anyone the way Fallaci does. You just have to admire the way she thinks and writes and this conservative does. She's refreshing for someone from the Continent and not at all like the writers we're used to hearing from over there. May God Bless Her and the Saints Preserve Her.

Doesn't she remind you of Camille Paglia? Hmmmm, I don't recall reading anything by Camille since the attack. I think she had already left Salon by 9/11. I'll have to do some research.
