Quote du Jour

Is fighting the 'war on terror' so much fun that it is worth living in fear for the rest of your life?

--Xymphora, commenting on the brutal killing of an apparently unarmed man in the London Underground:

Asking Israel for advice on how to deal with this problem is particularly funny. I understand why Israel does what it does: it wants to create terrorism so it can use its state terrorism in 'self defense' to eventually drive the Palestinians off the Occupied Territories. But why would the British want to go down this sorry road? With each incident the problem is made worse, and it will take years and years to undo the damage.
