But letting everyone ride in a cart would have been, I suspect, more anathema to the golfing greats and to the PGA, even than making an exception for Casey Martin.

Compromise can be anathema for purists, but it has always been the stuff of which peace is made. It has never been more necessary than it is now in Syria.

The idea that companies can know where we are, what we have watched, or the content of our medical records was anathema a generation ago. The vast array of details that defined a person was widely distributed.

Compromise is anathema to the radical mind. Some radical leftist Muslims, obsessed with their opposition to Western imperialism and Israel, saluted Mousavi s defeat, for, as one such activist put it, the anti Zionist resistance cannot afford a pro American velvet revolution.

If this forces America back towards what the international relations scholar Joseph Nye calls soft power and multilateral diplomacy, it may well be a good thing. But such approaches are anathema to the US Republican Party, and to its Tea Party faction in particular, and they might unnerve the many Asians who are nervous at China s growing military might.

Burning fossil fuels is having a measurable impact on the earth s temperature. But reducing carbon emissions has proved impossible, because such a commitment could constrain GDP growth (anathema to developed countries mired in economic malaise) and impede access to energy and electricity for billions of people in developing countries, which is unacceptable to China and India.

Blowback against the US began in 1990 with the first Gulf War, when the US created and expanded its military bases in the Dar al Islam, most notably in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam s founding and holiest sites.
