If we ever needed a good reason why we should not do business through the UN anymore, we are getting it right now with the attempts by France, Russia, and the UN Bureaucrats to take over Iraq. The picture with the story is worth a thousand words.

And I gather you do. Which is why you would consider a raving lunatic running around a warzone calling US troops Baby Killers a commendable and courageous person.

It is really instructive. Bill posted that great piece about our very commendable SF guys, of whom I have nothing but the greatest admiration and pride, and you praise some loon shouting derogatory and content-free anti-war slogans in a warzone. The contrast in values couldn't be any more stark, or clear.
