Quote of the Day
“This is not politics as we know it. It is not war — or even terrorism as an act of war — as we have previously understood it. It is a kind of mystical nihilism. Defeating it is going to take all of the organised energy and commitment that the rich, decadent West can muster. It will also involve quite a few concessions with what we regard as our ancient freedoms. But that’s how it is. The right to live is not just the most important entitlement in a free society: it is the one on which all the other rights are predicated. There are no civil liberties in the grave.”
—Janet Daley in the Daily Telegraph
