Here in NY we are having a die-in this morning designed to disrupt traffic to protest both the american war on iraq and the israeli war on palestine. The guy who is heading it up is a jewish american. In the jewish community he would be labeled a self-hating jew; in the american community i hereby label him a self hating american.
Anti americanism around the world is fueled by jealousy. Anti americanism here at home is fuel by guilt.
My fear is that there are some folks here in NY who are fed up and will try to give some reality to the term, die in. NYPD will do their job and hopefully there is minimal violence. I am in a sour mood this morning JB. I will take an early walk this morning. mike
PS Anyone else having trouble reconciling anti-vietnam days with pro-iraq war present? Although i feel being against the 12 year failed vietnam war was correct, i cringe when i think of what our brave soldier thought back then as they marched to their death, knowing that they were reviled by many at home. We dodged the draft in whatever ways we could and they served and we expected them to have an epiphany in battle that would cause them to lay down their arms. The pain never leaves the vets and now we former anti-war folks are getting a whiff of it. mike
