I am sitting here on my lunch hour paging through William Bennett's "The Death of Outrage" and note how much it compares with the attitude in the US today. Where has the outrage gone in the past year? Where are all the flags on cars? Where are the candlelight vigils? Where are the assemblies for prayer? The only showing is here on FR and a few talk shows. A pretty poor showing of outrage if you ask me.

But if we get outraged, we might have to do something about it and someone could get hurt and the markets might not like it, it might hurt the environment, and Nelson Mandela would speak out against us and we'd lose the support of the progressive nations of the world and kids might make fun of moslems and it might interfere with Monday Night Football.

Better to just rationalize it away: Nobody is perfect. America did bad stuff too. Free Martha!

Well I have been outraged since Sept. 11, 2001 when I heard the first plane had hit. I did not yet know if it was terrorism but I was angry that soemone could be either that stupid or that evil. After the second tower was hit I have been and continue to be livid until every last supporter of Al Qaeda is exterminated we have to keep fighting.
