maeveleI hadn't really locked on to this quote in the rest of the fuckery.
"and not only did the Islamic world in general show indecent glee about the attack "
Yeah. the general Islamic world showed GLEE, INDECENT HEATHEN GLEE, over the attacks.
I think reactions were a bit more split than she thinks. I'm guessing a lot of muslims thought "oh, shit, the americans are gonna really fuck with us now"

The older generation of sf writers lost it sometime between 9/11 and Obama's presidency. Particularly the GREATHOOD pros. The last decade has seriously challenged all their unexamined assumptions carried about themselves and their place in the world -- from their unrealized homophobia, bigotry, racism and intolerances of all kinds. In the meantime, for the last thirty years everyone in contact with them bow and scrape and proclaim them the GREATHOOD, so they can't possibly be wrong. Or irrelevant. Times really cannot change for the sf GREATHOOD.
With a few terrific exceptions, of course.
