Thanks for the kind words!

Though I imagine Catholicgauze would prefer to call his post an analysis, rather than a defense. A defense might argue that there already is a sweeping de facto policy of no-go areas in the nation’s capital (against women, against tourists, etc.), while this policy seeks to replace that with one whose costs will be less taxing and more equitable.

Also — wonderful website design! Fits the style and content very well!

Thanks for the link!

Steve French,

Could you rephrase your first comment?

As to your second, while of course most violence is intraracial, the same is true in Iraq as well. Simply because the groups fighting are not races but militant wings (Iraq) or gangs (DC) does not make it something other than intergroup conflict.
