X is nuts. Ish, did you go back and actually read what X said? It's not "nuts", it's thoughtful criticism which neither you nor I may agree with, but cries of "traitor" for a view critical of our bombing of Afghanistan is far more extremist and totalitarian than what X said. EDIT: Here is what she said: None of these wars is akin to what we are doing to Afghanistan. It really isn't even a war. It is a pummeling of a little stone age country, because some bad men took control of it. And why did these men take control? Well....I think you can look at the USSR and the US and see why. So we set up the dominoes, we let them fall in a careless manner, and then we go in and bomb the populace because we don't like it. If that is the kind of country you want, fine. It just doesn't happen to be the kind I want. I am not for this. I am an American, but I disagree with what we are doing. I think I can still be against terrorism and say that. I believe we have taken the wrong path.
