<Here in the US instead of standing for free speech otherwise intelligent people want to get rid of it? That I find far more frightening than militant Islam.> That's for sure! Islamic Jihad is "over there", safely over an ocean, along with a billion Moslems. Lack of freedom along with suppression is right there outside your front door [or inside soon enough]. It's odd that people can't understand it. Or, more likely, they do and everyone is forgetting "Never forget", "Lest we forget" etc. They think Adolf was some weirdo, rather than just a normal garden variety authoritarian of which there are plenty living on your street. They just need a drum to march to, a flag to wave, a bugle to play and they'll be away again. They know what they are doing, but don't see that they are he, just in a different uniform, threatening different people. Mqurice
