History takes us where it will, and we have no control over direction, only over ourselves. I felt no dismay, over 9/11. It was no trauma, to me. I know - odd. But it was very clear ... can't do anything about the past. Let's take care of the business at hand. Find them, and kill them. Brutal, of course. But if Buddhism works at all, it works only for Buddhists. Moslems understand and are cowed, by strength. If we kill one, ten more will not rise to take his place. Ten will rise to bury the one, and they will respect our might.<BR/><BR/>Because no sane person thinks killing innocents is right, in itself. Every sane Moslem knew 9/11 was wrong. They celebrated not the act, but the fact that they thought they'd get away with it. So we need to demonstate the inexorablity of justice. That's the point of my "What You Should Think about 9/11."<BR/><BR/>http://forgottenprophets.blogspot.com/2006/01/what-you-should-think-about-911.html<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words. They are very gratifying. "Wry passion" is exactly the phrase I'd use, too. Thanks, for that.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jack HJack Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599425185005999225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19936712.post-1146194803744409252006-04-27T20:26:00.000-07:002006-04-27T20:26:00.000-07:00All I could say to my husband on the night of 9.11...All I could say to my husband on the night of 9.11.01 (he worked for years on Wall Street, and we met in the World Trade Center), was, <EM>They can kill us all and they've still failed.

I've never seen so much learning, feeling, and wry passion in the service of intelligent Biblical (small-o) orthodoxy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
