Very disturbing. Rest in peace, Paul Johnson.
Clearly, whatever we want to call it, war is being waged on Western civilization, and it is the ugliest kind of war - a religious war. There was no music in Afghanistan under the Taliban - no Axioms, no Mozart, no music. Music is one of the great human accomplishments - an accomplishment rejected by those who would kill us because of our religions or lack of religion.
So, here's to beautiful music, progress of human civilization and Paul Johnson, Daniel Perle, Nick Berg, those lost in the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon and that field in Pennsylvania.
Confusion to our enemies.
