Of course nobody is actually going to ban anybody from commenting on the Iraq crisis. We live in a free country, not some communist dictatorship or college campus.

The sad thing is that both of these sentences by James Taranto are absolutely true.  Beware the word 'justice' on a college campus - it is an Orwellian euphemism for narrowing the 'acceptable' boundaries for debate and discussion.  It's part and parcel of the notion of 'revolutionary justice'.  But it's neither revolutionary - this is what used to be called maintaining religious orthodoxy or punishing heresy nor is it just - shutting people up is never right.

But as college campuses are perhaps the most venal and bigoted places in America, it's not surprising that they would also be the most illiberal.
