Devastating essay by Hitchens, E. Thanks for posting it. I had my poetry tutoring session with my mentor last night and we spent some time discussing our reactions to the attack and our views about what we think the US should do next. It was interesting: she's a little older than I and was a young adult during the Viet Nam war and protested for peace. Both she and I had considered ourselves liberals and pacifists most of our adult lives and we find ourselves now arguing with people who are saying the US should not retaliate in any way.

My point is that our reactions to the attack appear to cross political lines, even personal views about the use of military force. Has anyone else here found the same to be true?

PS: I really wish he had not used the term "towel heads". It diminishes his piece.
