To refocus, tho, on the killing of comic satirists... No amount of objective rationalizing is going to convince me that those murders have a shred of justification.


Its an attempt to provoke, to goad a further erosion of our values that these people find abhorrent.


If this is a war of values they are winning as we are abandoning ours and adopting theirs.


I fear you are correct. And indeed, in some circles, this is already true... those who've tortured, those who've cheered on the deaths of hundreds of thousands caught in the maelstrom... Hardline Israeli settlers, and the militants of Hamas certainly know this tactic... push people far enough, they will lash out... and then they can point fingers and say "See? They are animals! Animals who don't deserve to live!"
Vicious circle....
