"Anyone whose brother is so horribly murdered who, like the author of this piece, goes on to make excuses for the murderers, instead of doing everything possible to see them and theirs exterminated, is beneath contempt."

Got that right. And-- Ward Churchill needs a course of treatment with pliers and a blowtorch.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Anyone whose brother is so horribly murdered who, like the author of this piece, goes on to make excuses for the murderers, instead of doing everything possible to see them and theirs exterminated, is beneath contempt. The author of this piece is attackeing those of us, President Bush, and our brave military, who are doing our best to see another 9/11 never happens.

This bit, in particular, is a load of Chomskyite crap:

From what I understand after reading your essay, you wish to give the American people a view of the suffering of the Iraqi and the Palestinian peoples, and provide insight into why the attacks of 9/11 may have occurred. This is noble and legitimate. We do need to see and understand the consequences of the actions of our government and the exportation of our culture, and also do what we can to right the wrongs that have been committed.

Even the DUmmies are turning against him...

Yes, but as others have pointed out, only to a point. The writer is careful not to give up the hate America party line.
