Violence For Its Own Sake 

Wow, I've finally made it. The only commentary I liked from last Sunday's papers was by Fareed Zakaria, who writes on international affairs for Newsweek and appears frequently on the television show This Week with George Stephanopoulos. He talks about the fact that while in the past terrorist groups committed violent acts to make a point, today terrorism is committed just to terrorize. It is an excellent article that I pointed out to my wife.

Today, I notice that Virginia Postrel has posted a blog on the same subject! She used to be editor of Reason Magazine and I admire her opinions greatly. Please take a look at her blog site and follow the link to the column.
