the notion that millions of his countrymen are subconsciously on the other side in the War on Terror and want to see his daughter incinerated

*ding ding ding*

I may yet try to work up a full-size rant about it, but you've hit the nail on the head here in regards how Lileks got infected by the brain-eater. He had his first kid in his early 40s, and 9/11 happened shortly before her first birthday: suddenly all that free-floating angst that every parent has about (a) their child's safety, and (b) how all the stupid things they thought/said as a youth would obviously disqualify them as a parent if anybody knew about them...had a target.

Okay, that's dimestore Freudian analysis, but frankly, that's about what his political columns have rated, quality-wise.
