Pax Owed Manna?

However commendable Salam Pax's talents as a writer may be, Lileks today gives him something he needed and deserved (scroll down to "Finally: the Guardian..."). Well, what he really needs and deserves is a slap upside the head, but Lileks' tongue-lashing will have to do for now. As for those attacking Lileks for his outburst, my response is here.

Update: And I loved this comment:

Salam does not deserve to have US troops holding his sofa while he says, "No, a little more to the left."
