Courage, cowardice, intelligence and stupidity


Here's a sensible Op Ed piece from the Ottawa Citizen on Iraq, Afghanistan, the War on Terror- and how all thoughtful Westerners ought to think about them.

It's common sense, really- a commodity in short supply these days in North America, at a time when neither courage nor intelligence in these matters is very popular.

What label would apply to this man?

Whether one agrees with him or not, it's a wrenching story.
It is indeed.

Tillman certainly was a hero, regardless of who shot him. The other man did well to follow his conscience, though he might have been smarter about how and when.

I do think Tillman was badly mistaken about the war- and I'm sorry to see such political partisanship in SI.
