It is a grave error to suppose that a dictatorship rules a nation by means of strict, rigid laws which are obeyed and enforced with rigorous, military precision. Such a rule would be evil, but almost bearable; men could endure the harshest edicts, provided these edicts were known, specific and stable; it is not the known that breaks men's spirits, but the unpredictable. A dictatorship has to be capricious; it has to rule by means of the unexpected, the incomprehensible, the wantonly irrational; it has to deal not in death, but in sudden death; a state of chronic uncertainty is what men are psychologically unable to bear.-- Ayn Rand June 24, 2003Where are the liberals now?Hotinan asks a good question -- does teaching your children to be bloodthirsty suicidal killers qualify as child abuse? Oh, that's right, it's Sharon's fault that these kids are being raised as homicidal maniacs...(just ignore the adults cheering them on in the back) Anyone still holding any delusions about the nature of PLO/Hamas should read Mike's latest editorial on the "peace process" and this dated by still very relevant essay: "Do the Palestinians Deserve a State?"
