Further down on your link is a rather critical swipe at Lance Armstrong. I never liked him, and it's nice to come to know it was not without reason.
Yep.
They will go to any lengths--Filipino terrorists, Russian terrorists, Serbian terrorists, even "African terrorists," which they would never have dared to do before--to avoid depicting Muslim Arab terrorism.
The truth is like Kryptonite to them.
It is indeed twisted logic to be afraid to name your enemies for fear that it will make them angry.
This is the same kind of logic that kept President Johnson from bombing North Vietnam during the Vietnamese war for fear that it would make Russia mad.
Probably forgotten now is the fact that while the U.S. was keeping the tottering Russia empire alive with money and food, Russia was feeding war material to the Communist Vietnamese who were killing Americans with it. Go figure!
John Leo wrote a great piece in the NY Daily News last week, decrying Hollywood's timidity over depicting Sept 11th or War on Terror heroics.
Turns out only one producer is planning a Sept 11th feature, and its none other than Oliver Stone.
Hollywood still just doesn't get it.
