Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall
I'm definitely with Josh on this one, the similarities between the mullahs and our radical clerics are striking. Yes, there is a kind of loose moral equivalence; Car Bombers, meet the Clinic Bombers.
And this also relates to the earlier post on Hitchen's piece about Shrub being the secular standard bearer. There are two forces at play here that are, from my humanist point of view, very much the same.
