The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

This is a remarkably lucid editorial by Christopher Hitchens in today's OpinionJournal. I often find myself in vehement disagreement with Mr. Hitchens, but I also deeply respect him. Unlike other knee jerk liberals, Mr. Hitchens gives the appearance of being his own man. Bucking the Left, ala Dennis Miller, he recognizes that capitulating to the terrorist threat will gain us nothing but further violence. This should be a struggle where Left and Right put aside our differences. At least Mr. Hitchens recognizes that.
