From Vox's blog, yestiddy:
The difference between a man who fights in order to be left alone and live in freedom and a man who fights in order to gain ascendancy over others and exert power over their lives is polar.
Bingo. This is an important truth to set to memory. I've been sayin' that for a long time. Just remember this, the next time folks start shoutin' about the "cycle of violence" in Israel; or the "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" nonsense, regarding the "Palestinians;" or when they compare the killers in Iraq with the Minutemen of the Revolution. This morally relativistic tripe needs consignment to the ash heap of history, right next to polyester and communism.
