I love Katha Pollit. Her latest article in The Nation is a book reivew of The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11 by Dinesh D'Souza. D'Souza enlightens readers as to the real causes for 9/11.
What are they you ask? Only the most obvious reasons such as:
"No, 9/11 was provoked by feminism, birth control, abortion, pornography, feminism, Hollywood, divorce, the First Amendment, gay marriage, and did I mention feminism?"
"D'Souza acknowledges, it's a secular version of Jerry Falwell's contention that 9/11 was a divine rebuke to "the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America." "
"The same objection can be raised to D'Souza's cultural explanation for 9/11: Al Qaeda didn't send planes crashing into Universal Studios or the headquarters of Planned Parenthood. It blew up the emblems of US economic and military might. Subsequent attacks took place in countries that sent troops to Iraq, not condoms to Cairo. As Osama himself has noted, he's not attacking Sweden."
This book sounds very much like the Ann Coulter genre of crazy but the review is great!
