Nadine, here's the core of what bothers me about Steyn, at least this quote. George W. Bush had a rare opportunity after 11 September. He could have attempted to reverse the most toxic tide in the Western world: the sappy multiculturalism that insists all cultures are equally valid, even as they’re trying to kill us. No "culture" is trying to kill us; it's a gang called Al Qaeda. The kindest way to read that Steyn quote is that it's just over the top hyperbole; the least kind is that he means what he says. But if it's the latter then he's not only wrong, he falls right into the bin Laden trap and walks us down the path to a "clash of civilizations. And one has to wonder why he's so worked up over multiculturalism. But we all know why. He's trying to use 9-11 to discredit things he doesn't like. An old tactic but one that should not be supported.
