Article here. Recommended by musical comedian Tim Minchin on Twitter. That's one reason why I'm on Twitter: interesting info comes from unexpected angles.

Great read. I'd seen that Jefferson quote before and it certainly puts the current unpleasantness in perspective. There are people in this world who want us dead and they have not been made that a secret. The ostrich-like reaction of the West has always amazed me.

You may have seen this piece by Tim Blair as well which also pretty much tells it like it is.
