| Nitwit sez terror war is a "tantrum" |
| 2001-10-11 |
Boston Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson, a finalist in the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for commentary for his "perceptive, versatile columns on such subjects as politics, education and race," offers these perceptive, versatile insights on the war (emphasis ours): Until yesterday all was antiseptic in the temper tantrum against terrorism. . . . Americans were successfully fed the illusion that our tantrum would break only the glass and china of the Taliban and punch a hole in the wall protecting Osama bin Laden. . . . In human history, there are few cases of tantrums that take time to understand complexity. This one is no exception. . . . It does not matter how smart your bombs are if they are dropped in a tantrum. |
