Sure, but just becuase he was quick to attack doesn't mean that other should 
or have to be...There are some very delicate and diverse issues involved here. 
The attack-counterattack approach seems to me to be naive. It is possible to 
approach that kind of thing very differently, and in so doing, in various ways 
defuse bombs, challenge the Truth and History, etc. There is something so 
pointless, even hopeless in this kind of reactivity, it seems to me. Perhaps 
this is the "nonviolent activist" in me talking, but then again, that's a 
nonviolent activist who is concerned with things like teaching, and one who is 
ready, willing and able to do extended Nietzschean readings of Gandhi...go 
figure...
