WELL said Westpole! Bravo!
As for Brian Williams, I think that picture of the GI and the coffee cup with the caption "How about rooting for OUR side for a change, you liberal moron!?!?" says it all!
A fax to them might be nice.

That GI saying "how about a nice cup of STFU?" would work nicely as well.
Brian Williams has read your e-mail and asked that I send along the following clarification:
Comments I made during a live interview with Chris Matthews last night have been aggressively misunderstood in the hours since. Here was my point: people always say that our country will be at a disadvantage as long as the "other side" is willing to take their own life for the cause. I was making the point that if that's some kind of litmus test for bravery... or belief in the cause, we have those guys, too. People who fight for us, people who protect us -- know full well that the American cause is worth dying for -- as are our freedoms. People are dying for the U.S. side every day. Laying their lives on the line. And I give thanks for them every day. I was not at all equating the "other" cause with what Americans stand for. I was criticizing the view, expressed by some, that as long as we are fighting the "suicide bomber mentality" we can never get the upper hand, because, as this belief goes, "we aren't willing to give our lives the way they are." Of course we are. The difference is: the folks willing to die for OUR country do so in the act of protecting and defending it -- NOT killing civilians by detonating an explosive and killing innocent people. I hope that clears it up.
