Christmas bomber's dad

So a father turns his son in for texting about a terrorist act. Thomas Friedman writes an interesting "it takes a village" article. My favorite quote: "We are the people of July 4th — not Sept. 11th." He goes on to say: "no laws or walls we put up will ever be sufficient to protect us unless the Arab and Muslim societies from whence these suicide bombers emerge erect political, religious and moral restraints as well — starting by shaming suicide bombers and naming their actions “murder,” not “martyrdom.”
