Mark Steyn, Censored
I've long been a fan of Mark Steyn's writing. He has a clear, concise, and in-your-face kind of truth. He calls 'em like he sees 'em, and I respect that. In this piece, he explains why he has been censored at this time, and lists the offending piece. It is today's must read.
To his well elucidated commentary I would add only this:
It is okay to be sad. It is okay to cry. But when you are done crying, it is better to be angry. Really P-Oed. Because it is only with righteous fury that we will have the stamina for this fight. It is so easy to retreat when your children are threatened. You would naturally do anything to save them. The problem is, we are not really dealing with kidnappers. We are dealing with murderers. They can't be reasoned with or negotiated with. And when we begin to try to do so, we legitimize their behavior and paint it as acceptable. We can't do this. WE MUST NOT DO THIS! Remember all of those who have fallen and let them not have died in vain. Fight on! Fight On! Until the peace of victory brings closure to the pain. But do not wilt in fear. We can not let their deaths go unpunished, nor the loss, so difficult to bear, be forgotten.
