Taro, great post. However, I would like to comment on the last sentence:

> Harsh and paradoxical as this may sound, democracy is entitled to some protection against newsmen who are either gullible enough to be manipulated by the terrorists, or criminally hungry for pornographic death pictures that cause a moral inversion of the public.

I don't see how censorship is going to help here. Democracy allows for said gullible and attention-grabbing newsmen to spread their garbage as far and wide as they can. The only "solution" to that would be for the authorities to reign in "anti-patriotic" sentiment, but usually such extreme measures are reserved for full-scale wars.
