An outstanding essay by Alan E. Brain. For a complete and challenging overview, read Alan, then read this article on hatred, justice, and forgiveness. Work to reconcile the two articles in your head - it is possible. Then ask yourself what that synthesis means for the path ahead in the War on Terror. Especially good answers can be put up on your blog for linkage, or posted here as Guest Blogs. Or just use the Comments feature, below. UPDATE: BigHominid offers some Buddhist thoughts. His links to a couple of his previous articles are especially worth following. BigHominid, you in particular may enjoy reading what the Sufi Bushanja had to say.
