because we are a free people, accustomed to and jealously guarding of
our freedom. and, sadly, because it is not in us to find pure evil in
others. it *does* take something big. but history suggests that when
we do finally respond, the response is memorable (we can forget the
last eight years, which were, it is to be hoped, a regrettable
anomaly).
as to the u.n. coming together -- right now, the u.n. is probably
chiefly concerned over the distinct possibility that americans join
together and physically push the damned thing into the east river.
something that in my estimation is long overdue anyway.
