There was no such link other than in the fact. It happened. PERIOD. Not much of a link--not
intended as a "link".

I said "you do react very harshly to it whenever it rears its head in any guise either benign or radical. "

You replied

"I do react harshly when absolutism rears its ugly head (such as on Sept the 11th--2001)."

I was talking about post here and you bring up the terrorist attacks. If you don't think they are in any way linked or similar then why bring up the attacks? Yes moral absolutists can apparently do evil things (and the people who committed the attacks are apparently absolutists) but I doubt they are alone in this. Sept. 11th was not moral absolutism rearing its head, but fanaticism combined with hatred rearing its head.
