Islamists Attacking Morocco

Well, yet again we are seeing how badly we are losing the war against terrorism. While Bush and McCain surge in Iraq (a nation previously with no al-Qaeda connections...until we invaded) Muslim extremists are now flexing their muscles in Morocco.

From BBC news:

A third blast has rocked the Moroccan city of Casablanca in what police believe was a third Islamist bomber blowing himself up after police raids.

Earlier a man set off a bomb belt when police raided El Fida district at dawn and another was shot dead before managing to do the same, police say.

A third escaped but then blew himself up later as police went to arrest him.

Let's see all the places where fundamentalist Islamic terrorists are surging while we surge in Iraq:

Words to live by

I am a First Amendment absolutist and I would like to read, amid the discussion of how the Delete key should be wielded, some more nuanced discusssion than I have seen on just where anyone believes the line should be drawn in censoring the Web, blogs or any other speech.

Certainly the words and images directed at Kathy are hateful and abhorrent. If a law has been broken, the accused should be prosecuted. Let's do keep in mind, however, that that person is the one who created and posted the words and images.

Beyond that, I don't see what can or should be done publicly. In case anyone hasn't noticed, anonymous abusers are not the sort of people who "own their words." There are bad people in the world. They do bad things. Bad things happen to good people.

And it multiplies the violation when good people respond in kind.
