DOES FREE SPEECH ENDANGER OUR TROOPS? By Richard Reeves Fri Mar 21,10:11 PM ET story.news.yahoo.com <<...The president has chosen to go to war with the country divided. A lot of Americans think this pre-emptive show of imperial power is unwarranted or immoral, an illegal invasion. Some think it is unneccesary and stupid; I am one of those. Bush and his men are gambling that we have the military capability to crush Iraq quickly and can then begin remaking the Middle East in our own image. A dream. If the war is short -- hoping for that does unite Americans -- questions and dissent can be handled by flag-waving and other assertions of patriotism and charges of anti-Americanism.

Hi Ray, It is a free country. I believe in positives. You believe in negatives. So typical that you as a liberal would first shoot the messenger without bothering to read the message for fear that you may be forced to face your own moral sickness. Do you think that NR created that letter from whole cloth? ...or, was the letter actually written by LtGen Pacepa?...does the General exist? ceausescu.org jerusalem.indymedia.org benadorassociates.com idiotquotient.blogspot.com freeman.org thenewamerican.com I could go on if only for the sake of the intellectually honest readers that may frequent this thread. Answer yourself this question, Ray...would you have a life if you lived in Sweden? Cuba? Russia? France? Quebec?...What would you have to bitch about?...such a quiet peaceful existence with nothing to protest...are you willing to try it?.....jj
