One Arab’s Apology

I’ve never been to New Jersey. But if I do go, I would like to shake this American Arab’s hand.

WELL, here it is, five years late, but here just the same: an apology from an Arab-American for 9/11. No, I didn’t help organize the killers or contribute in any way to their terrible cause. However, I was one of millions of Arab-Americans who did the unspeakable on 9/11: nothing.

Mr. Dabul’s op-ed is a ray of sunshine, a breath of fresh air. This is exactly the attitude that needs to be encouraged. It’s the attitude that will save civilization.

Notice the Pattern?

A fine column by George Will.

Liberals think their campaign against Wal-Mart is a way of introducing the subject of class into America’s political argument, and they are more correct than they understand. Their campaign is liberalism as condescension. It is a philosophic repugnance toward markets because consumer sovereignty results in the masses making messes. Liberals, aghast, see the choices Americans make with their dollars and their ballots, and announce – yes, announce – that Americans are sorely in need of more supervision by . . . liberals.
