So let me see, chuck. Jacob writes: 6. Anyone in the U.S. who advocates compromise, multilateralism, respect for other nation's sovereignty, listening to the issues raised by Muslims, any non-violent solution to any foreign policy problem, they are all silenced. Hmmm You may have just proven his point... --fl@doh!.com

Chuck, In defense of Jacob - he is a real out-and-out pacifist who hates war and thuggery from all sides. He decries a lot of right-wing stuff only because it is subsidized in his opinion by our government. For example he doesn't say that right wing death squads in Columbia are worse than FARC, its just that we don't directly or indirectly support FARC. Now I disagree with a LOT of what Jacob says, but he has a consistent moral position and I respect the consistency. Voltaire said (paraphrased) - 'I may not like what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.' This is a true measure of democracy and freedom of speech. John
