This is a classic article show casing the absolute cultural incomprehension of so many on the left.  Until people with these attitudes (like those of this author) can come to a realization that any country that is attacked will fight back, there can be no dialog with them.  There is also a fundamental misunderstanding of the radical teachings of Islam.

Just remember, if the west and America are for something, these people will be against it.
