When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.

Yhought about holding it and decided not to. Terrorist acts by government and non-government entities have been going on all my life and longer and many of them far more terrible than 9/11. Part of the problem with the US government's response to 9/11 is that it has invested it with a status, a uniqueness, that it doesn't warrant. Maybe I'll write up a post later on why the US can't win using it's current strategies.

Yay Marcus Aurelius!

He really was one of the better emperors...
