Bierce on Terrorism |
 | | SWAIM: If the government's right, the terrorists were, and are, members of a fanatic Islamic group that interpreted the Koran literally. |
 | | The best that we can hope for through all the failures, the injustice, the disheartening damage to individual rights and interests, is a fairly good general result, enabling us to walk abroad among our fellows unafraid, to meet even the tribesmen from another valley without too imminent a peril of braining and evisceration. |
 | | SWAIM: Sir, for some ten hours after the disaster, some of us thought the current president of the United States, a man of modest intellect called George W. Bush, was a casualty -- because he spent that time safely hopping from airport to airport instead of taking charge. |
