Here's a neat trick James
Here's a neat trick James Lileks seems to have perfected: turning an argument on its head with an elegance and economy of words so that the truth seems strikingly obvious:
It reminded me again of an interview I heard a few weeks ago with the CEO of some big Middle-eastern Internet company; he said that Arabs hate the US because of the oppressive governments we support. The host asked if people were pleased when the Taliban was deposed, and he said of course not - the US was attacking a Muslim nation!
