Lessons from the news to come
September 12th, 2012 Posted in Irritations, Policy and PoliticsIn case you don’t have time to follow the news for the next week, here’s a summary:

2. Otherwise intelligent and civilized ambassadors for the Religion of Peace murdered some people for being American (they’ll get around to assaulting people for being Jews and Christians as soon as schedules permit) and burned buildings after looting their contents.
3. The obvious conclusion is that the West should work harder to sensitize itself to the tender feelings of thugs and theocrats.

Abel — a friend on Facebook lit into me for that, which is the first I’d even heard about the whole embassy/Romney/Obama fracas. I was just referring to a general trend, wherein a crowd of Muslim thugs gets agitated, behaves like savages, and then the rest of us are counseled in a thousand ways, directly and indirectly, to be more sensitive toward their delicate feelings.
