Mark Steyn in honour of this fine Day reruns his polemic on those Danish Cartoons, which gets off to a momentous start:
As Pericles told the war-battered Athenians, “To a man of spirit, cowardice and disaster coming together are far more bitter than death striking him unperceived at a time when he is full of courage and animated by the general hope.”
