Each week on Friday, Mark Steyn picks a letter of the week: http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/3434/59/
I had never heard of Jews in Bagdad, but this beautifully visceral letter strikes the core of what's ailing the world right now. It's easy to forget that we are not really that special, or that smart, or any different from our ancestors despite our ipads and comfort level with the internet. Despite even our ability to access multitudes of informational sources, we as a people are still slaves to the oldest fears and prejudices. How else to explain the control of the masses by a relatively small group of hateful trolls?
