Bush responded to this by saying something like 'It shows what a dangerous world we are living in.'
I wasn't sure how to take that, which is a sign of the rhetorical defeat.
By comparison, the engagement with communism was deep, long and untinged by guilt.
Not all the engagement of the west with Islam is on the level of Norma Khouri's "Forbidden Love", but that book revealed a vein of wilfull ignorance.....our politicians do not have to try very hard.
