No sanity here
Re: "No honour here," Mindelle Jacobs, Edmonton Sun, July 28, 2009.
The dementia, posing as logic, behind so-called "honour killings"
should be familiar to baby boomers who recall the Vietnam War,
specifically a statement attributed to a U.S. Air Force Major by war
correspondent Peter Arnett. In response to the destruction of a
Vietnamese provincial capital, the officer offered the rationale that
it was "necessary to destroy the town to save it."
"No honour here?"
Try 'no sanity here.'
