There is a war afoot, and in war it does not behoove one to explain particular acts of war as having some independent significance. What matters is that in this war with violent jihadism civilians are targeted for death and societies for terror. Before Saturday night, when the world thought about Orlando, people would think about Disney World. Jihadist violence against homosexuals is not exactly new, but the scale certainly was, as was the location, in the American homeland. Next time the jihadists strike — and there will be a next time — let’s say less, for there is little left to say.
