Why a real war on terrorism brings out the best in us. By Robert Wright - Slate Magazine

Why a real war on terrorism brings out the best in us. By Robert Wright - Slate Magazine

An article in Slate, surprisingly dead on the mark regarding how we should change our foreign policy in the Middle East. To use a piece of lingo from the "new age human potential movement", we need to "hold both." Supporting dictatorships in the Middle East is morally wrong, regardless if they are "our dictatorships", and gives terrorists a reason to hate us and an excuse for why their societies are so backwards. Support should be withdrawn from them. At the same time we should kick Bin Laden's ass.
