An important point. Every time I see a picture of the Twin towers, or a picture of modern New York without them, I want to bomb Mecca. I want to see the Saudi King's head on a pike. But what I would rather have is an America that believes what it says and tries to live up to the high principles we aspire to. We have not begun to achieve those principles. Maybe we never will. But if we turn our backs on them, the way Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Bush, Cheney, and so many others have, we will never achieve them. And if we turn our backs on them, we give the terrorists a victory they never dreamed possible. In our own way we bring the towers down again, and justify the terrorists' actions in a way they should never be. It's not about good guys and bad guys, but is is about the people who want to be good guys and the people who do not know good from bad. It takes real strength of every type to stand by your principles in the face of adversity. In the face of adversity this country, in the official capacity of its elected government, has given up its principles as too costly. "The Constitution is not a suicide pact," is the rallying cry of this cowardice. But if supporting the rule of law, habeus corpus, and the Constitution itself is considered suicide, isn't that capitulation? Aren't we giving up the things we say we fight for? The things we sent our kids to die for?
