U.S. just as guilty of committing own violent acts

[Mr.E]

This might have been posted but it can't slip by....

[BurkeanCyclist]

...my primary anger is directed at the leaders of this country and my fear is not only for the safety of Americans but for innocent civilians in other countries.

Then you may go straight to Hell, sir.

[yoe]

Mr. E. , you can tell all, especially the clinton administration and mr. clinton himself and all those NAY sayers to "GO AND PUT ICE ON IT!"

The UT board of regents are all political appointees....

[tbeatty]

Jensen's and a$$. America doesn't target civilians. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between intentionally murdering innocent civilians and accidentally killing civilians during war.

[tet68]

Spare me.

[dfwgator]

What Mr. Jensen no mention of Yugoslavia? Oh yeah, back then they were YOUR planes.

[KC Burke]

If Jensen is ready. we'll start the fund raiser for his emmigration airfare. I don't care where, we'll get the sucker paid for right here, this next week.

That pretty much tells you all you need to know about this loser. Another anti-American parrot. They are all the same. They cannot tell the difference between an act of war and an act of terrorism. By taking the acts out of context they can then create a moral equivalence.

[dighton]

Ah yes, the old "I'm shocked and saddened BUT." Screw this idiot.

[Texbob]

I do not think my tax money should pay this kind of un-American proff. to teach our young adults.

[Mulder]

The last time the United States responded to terrorism, the attack on its embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, it was innocents in the Sudan and Afghanistan who were in the way. We were told that time around they hit only military targets, though the target in the Sudan turned out to be a pharmaceutical factory.

This was Clinton's fault, not the fault of the United States.

Throughout our history, the United States has restrained itself (often painstakingly) from committing actions against non-combantants. No nation in the history of the world can match our restraint during wartime.

How many nations with our weapons would have restrained themselves? Not too many. Certainly not agressive nations like Iraq and North Vietnam who are the cesspools of the earth.

This fool is attempting to resurrect the 'moral equivalency' principle that liberals used to justify their positions on the Cold War. And he, like the liberals and communists, can go to hell.

Note Mr.E's Keyword in the headline of the post. Mr. E is describing this article as "Anti-American," therefore Mr. E is NOT IN AGREEMENT with the article. He is undoubtedly posting it as an example of an attack on America and soliciting your comments regarding the article as an example of anti-Americanism.

[Un-PC]

This author leaves out one important point: The power grab now going on in this country ostensibly to combat "terrorism." And this attack on our constitutional liberties is being led by Republicans -- Orrin Hatch and Kyle of Arizona. Will we allow this to happen? We will we allow the Orrin Hatches of the world to invade our privacy, to lurk in our email without a search warrant, because of the terrorists and terrorism that they created?

Make no mistake about it: We created the terrorists that attacked us. The United States of America's representative, Madeline Albright, when asked about the 500,000 dead Iraqi children who died as a result of our sanctions replied: "It was worth it."

In view of recent events, was it?

Jensen is a professor of journalism at the University of Texas in Austin.

Another piece of garbage trying to change the world via the mass media.

[Mr.E]

I hope that is Clear? I can't stand this Crap...
