Nothing to quarrel with there. But in the war on terrorism, there are always going to be two fronts: one with a shadowy enemy who is constantly trying to exploit our weaknesses, and another with ourselves.

If a wise God were in charge of the world stage, he would decree: Thou shalt not exploit the memory of the Holocaust by using it for cheap political purposes. The label has become the universal atomic bomb of denigration, and you don't even have to be German to have it dropped on your head.
