#1 This is pretty depressing. D'Souza was bang on with Illiberal Education, then he goes and writes this ridiculous tripe. Conservatives have nothing in common with any faction of Islam except those who want to curb its excesses -- if such Muslims even exist. If the social conservatives find it more important to attack the Left than to attack the West's enemies then they're going to lose national defense conservatives like me. And that's bad for all of us.

#2 Exactly. It is no better than the "tiny minority" of the left that wants to score points off the President more than it wants to defend human dignity in the face of 7th century barbarism.

#3 I'm with you, Excalibur and Jonathan. It is one thing to be surprised that Bin Laden selected a target that has stronger religious values than many other countries; it is quite another thing to suggest we should find commonality with Islam's "religious values". Such a 'marriage of values' would be ruinous for our country.
