The issue here is not freedom of speech. Everyone supports that. But freedom of speech does NOT include the right to threaten death or destruction.

Very interesting, Bubba Fred. I liked your commentary. As a note, although not well-versed in foreign languages, I can speak bubba--lol!

re: It is amazing to see how many percentage of the population who would readily get in line with the party line.

it is really scary how many people refuse to support something that needs to be done.

re: I can see now how so many oppressive dictators can remain in power for so long with little opposition,

Let me remind you of one that came to power and caused the death of 56,000,000 people with a help of folks just like yourself - Hitler. Under the Versailles Treaty Germany was allowed to have only limited military forces and yet the world chose to ignore Hitler's violations and I am sure that if it would be early 30's you would be singing for the fuhrer.

And before you start pushing the usual 'Iraq is no Germany' consider that
1) Germany was not considered a powerful nation at the time
2) it is not a conventional war threat that we are talking about here
