My first byline

I have a short op-ed in today's Post about Ahmadinejad's speech at Columbia. My basic thesis is that it was a lot more philosophical and rhetorically clever than he's given credit for -- and still dead wrong. Please forgive my lack of nuance. A millenium of philosophical and theological thinking on two continents is a lot to squeeze into 350 words.

Lack of nuance aside, I think the piece represents your style pretty well. It sustains your typical savoir faire, mixing cool rationality with a red-hot accuracy that blisters. Damn proud of you. Keep it up.

I don't think anyone could say it better than Greg, so I'll just say "ditto"....plus We are all proud of you and just tickled to death thet you addressed the event at Columbia. We know you'll keep up the good work!!! Carl in TN

Nicely done, my friend - I definitely heard your voice in that, and it's actually an angle I hadn't seen before. The thought clearly ran through my head that there aren't a lot of media sources where that sort of argument would be present or welcome, and I was glad to see it here. Very cool.
