I'll get back to you on that

Perhaps you've seen the article where Salman Rushdie says Bush isn't handling the war on terror well; that he's alienating his allies. There's nothing remarkable about Rushdie's argument--it's just the same mindless claim we hear over and over from his social set: closing their minds to serious discussion while whining that Bush won't "listen" when they really mean "obey."

The only reason I bother to mention is it this. Where does Rushdie get off telling anyone how to deal with radical Islam?
