Zacarias Moussaoui

Zacarias Moussaoui is not a figure I can approach as entertainment commentary, and I won't pretend otherwise. Born in France and educated, including at a London university, he became an al-Qaeda member tied to the September 11 plot, one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in modern history. What unsettles me most is how someone with opportunity and schooling chose radicalization and mass violence. My thoughts stay with the victims and their families, for whom this is no abstraction. I include him only because honest records require confronting such figures rather than erasing them. There is nothing here to admire, only to soberly remember.
