Moral equivalence

The recent Al Queda atrocity enrages me.

Americans wrongly force a prisoner to wear underwear on his head.

Islamofascists saw off a prisoner's head and proudly display while in a state of religious ecstasy.

The Islamofascists claim that this is a legitimate response to the Abu Gharib humiliations. Daniel Pearl must have been a pre-emptive strike.

Let's have no more discussion of moral equivalency.

We're right.

They're wrong.

We MUST win.

Update: Do you suppose the Arab street will protest the decapitation of Mr. Berg as ardently as they protested the nakedness of prisoners?
