Hate is a dead end for all sides...Once the euphoria of military victory wears off, Americans will start to understand why. The first casualty of war is truth. Following just after that were the death of perspective on the Iraq issue and respect for different points of view. Hate is a menace that only breeds more hate.

Andrew Sullivan comments on FRENCH JUSTICE: I apologize for sometimes linking to pieces in foreign languages, but sometimes they're the only source for fascinating stories. Here's one from "Proche-Orient," a French publication covering the Middle East. You may recall an anti-Semitic incident at the poignantly named Albert Camus school last year, where a young Jewish girl was beaten in an anti-Semitic attack. A judge has now fined the parents of the girl - yes, the parents - for talking to the media about the affair. The French authorities deal with anti-Semitic violence the way the Catholic Church has historically dealt with child rape. Why? Because they know they're guilty. andrewsullivan.com
