P.S.

Last week Churchill wrote a response to his critics, which I suppose should be titled, "In case you are too dumb to understand the article that is clearly written in plain English." His ending point hits it straight on. We have to be free to discuss these matters. If academics are punished, fired and demoted, for raising these issues, we are in a pretty scary place, folks.

Some people will, of course, disagree with my analysis, but it presents questions that must be addressed in academic and public debate if we are to find a real solution to the violence that pervades today's world. The gross distortions of what I actually said can only be viewed as an attempt to distract the public from the real issues at hand and to further stifle freedom of speech and academic debate in this country.
