Oh well. It was silly to think there’d be humanity, understanding, or reconciliation from the opportunists who grabbed Terri Schiavo’s inert body and dragged her, head lolling obscenely, into battle. They’re too busy sending out inflammatory fundraising emails and preparing the heavily-Photoshopped “2006 Terri Schiavo Swimsuit Calendar.”

Being at war, even a “culture war,” means admitting no errors, not until it’s over. Which is why we’re fighting wars on “terror” and “the culture of death” rather than wars on “Iraq” and “The Schiavo Case.” Those might end, after all.

Adam rightly notes that the lack of apology from the “activists” who cynically used Terri Schiavo for their own agenda is just like the one we won’t get for Iraq or any of the other dozen or so polarizing issues.

Steamrollers never apologize, either.
