Good comment from James Taranto on Freidman's "Humiliation" column.

...There's only so much the West can do to overcome the Palestinians' sense of humiliation, which is largely of their own and their fellow Arabs' making. What we can do, though, is to treat the Palestinians like adults. That means respecting them enough to hold them responsible for their actions, rather than making excuses for unspeakable acts of barbarity. Every time an American or a European responds to a suicide bomber's massacre with sympathy for the perpetrator rather than outrage at the crime, it contributes to the Palestinians' humiliation. Pity, after all, is a form of contempt........
