In retrospect, it's striking how avidly we clung to this perpetrator-as-victim narrative.

We? You, perhaps.

"If today's suicide bombers are victims of oppression, then the solution is to lessen our dominance, and so assuage their resentments. But if they are vicious people driven by an insatiable urge to dominate, then our only option is to fight them to the death."

'If"?

Too bad, the NYT's is still grapling with the truth here; re 9/11. . .if Columbine helps them to get a better picture; to accept, their 'unthinkable'; then so be it.

But they will never connect the dots of Liberalism in either of these tragedies.
