In a cleverly written reply to both the attack and the U.S. response, Richard Dawkins attempts to bring the western world back to a state of reality regarding the causality of religion in the attack and the irresponsibility of those who excuse and turn away from any explanation which points to religion as a fundamental element in the attack. 'Tis one more reason, in a very long list of reasons, why I find Richard Dawkins to be one of humankind's greatest treasures in these times of pressures to be supportive of religions and pressures to be silent towards the underlying risks of religions. o Guardian Unlimited http://www.guardian.co.uk/wtccrash/story/0,1300,552388,00.html - - - Faith - Virtue or Vice?
