Jeff Jacoby on the Amish schoolhouse shooting.

Over at Korrektiv I posted Rod Dreher's summation of the Amish response to the murder of three girls in a one room schoolhouse. Jeff Jacoby had an equally impassioned interpretation in today's Boston Globe:

But hatred is not always wrong, and forgiveness is not always deserved. I admire the Amish villagers' resolve to live up to their Christian ideals even amid heartbreak, but how many of us would really want to live in a society in which no one gets angry when children are slaughtered? In which even the most horrific acts of cruelty were always and instantly forgiven? There is a time to love and a time to hate, Ecclesiastes teaches. If anything deserves to be hated, surely it is the pitiless murder of innocents.
