WE DO NOT INHABIT THE SAME MORAL UNIVERSE

I've stated it before, but as time goes on, it needs restating. We do not inhabit the same moral universe as the Islamics we're fighting. Right now the Israelis are fighting, but tomorrow it'll have to be us who do the bloody work. If you don't believe it, listen to NPR's report "Iraq still manages to shock."

Diapers on goats? Impure arrangement of vegetables a Capital Crime in Baghdad? Shari Law covers vegetables? Slitting the thoat of a boy for blinding a cow with a rock?

NPR calls it "staggeringly pointless" violence. I call it another Moral Universe.
