More good stuff from Dan Gilmour:

A few brave commentators are asking uncomfortable questions this week, and being pilloried for their trouble. They are asking America to ask itself why we are so loathed in much of the world. President Bush’s statement that the terrorists hate freedom is probably true, but it’s incomplete.

To ask those questions is not to assume some kind of bizarre moral eqivalency. The United States has many flaws, but on balance it’s a beacon of light on this troubled planet. The people who organized and supported Tuesday’s atrocity are beyond the pale. I have nothing in my heart for them.
