A few days ago in the New York Times, David Brooks announced his position very clearly: I am not Charlie Hebdo. I'm responding to his Op-Ed because:
- similar positions are quite common in the wake of the Paris attack, but at least here
- the argument is reasoned, carefully presented and respectful of the victims and
- it is published in a very respected, mainstream journal.
Still, I believe it manages to get the "I am Charlie" response completely wrong.
