Essentially, if threats by foreign governments are made against a book
publisher, or an airline, it's the same problem. It might as well be a dry
cleaner for all that.

You mean there are definitions in this group?
Really, what's the point of that debate? You ask me to write another essay
in response to a one-liner? There are those who know what I'm talking about,
but there are far more who think any definition is pointless. You've already
made up your mind, it's implicit in your writing, just as my assumptions are
implicit. What you're really saying is, you recognize my assumptions and
disagree with them. I get that.
I say there's no difference in principle between Salman Rushdie with Random
House, or the airlines now. Both are entitled to extra physical protection
in the face of threats. Or not, in which case we have chosen anarchy. It's
important for this to be understood clearly today, so that the US policy
thus far of "capitulation and appeasement on a case-by-case basis" can be
reversed.
