BROSZ: Dr. Zubrin:

I agree with many others that it may have been impolitic to express your philosophy while holding the position you do, particularly when you have to rely on the good will of others for funding.

COWING: Agree - but his words are wrong in and of themselves.

BROSZ: Aside from that, I thought your article was excellent, and I agree wholeheartedly with your take on human civilization and its history. Ayn Rand at her best could not have done much better--which I hope you take as a compliment. If this essay is posted somewhere on the net, I would like to know the address.

COWING: You are just as culpable as Zubrin by condoning his anti-Islamic remarks.
