This morning’s Minneapolis Star Tribune,

This morning’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, under the heading “Four Approaches to Terrorism,” has columns outlining different analyses of the problem. One is by a Muslim psychiatrist named Fatma Reda who explains why it’s all our fault. Nothing new there, but I liked this reasoning:
“Unfortunately, what is being exported is fast food, fast movies and fast cars. Those exports create unbelievable havoc in Middle Eastern societies by destroying family values and societal cohesion.”
There it is, the ultimate Twinkie defense: You sold us fast food, so we had to kill you!
