Instapundit<\/a> got dinged for showing a 9\/11 picture. His response:<\/p>\n

I posted it because I thought people needed to be reminded of the reality of what this is about, in the face of too many efforts to domesticate it. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ll quote Darryl Worley<\/a> on my own attitude toward our desire to sanitize this:<\/p>\n

They took all the footage off my T.V.
\nSaid it’s too disturbing for you and me
\nIt’ll just breed anger that’s what the experts say
\nIf it was up to me I’d show it every day<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t want to rabblerouse, but I do think that as we sanitize this we forget that this is a war. Even Calpundit<\/a> thinks something serious is going on:<\/p>\n

“And so I dither. In an age where nuclear weapons are, if not easy to come by, at least possible<\/u> to come by, an aggressive military posture toward radical Islamic terrorism makes perfect sense … if it will work. Keeping a strong American presence in Iraq to ensure security and guide them toward some kind of democracy makes perfect sense … if it will work. And insisting on the obliteration of terrorist groups like Hamas as a precursor to a Palestinian state makes perfect sense … if it will work.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m off on a motorcycle trip to New Mexico. Be nice to each other, and please try not to kill anyone or blow anything up while I’m gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
