This is the same type of scum who spit on soldiers when they returned from 'Nam. A traitor - already encouraging sedition against America, giving aid and comfort to the forces of evil. Somebody needs to remind him who was attacked on September 11. But then, I'm afraid that doesn't matter to him one bit. And, to think this bozo was a professor and former dean at the University of Washington!

[ohioman]

You are exactly correct. This guy is nothing but a pile of excrement that has learned how to talk.

[onedoug]

Another academic. And so it goes....

The problem with incessantly beating the drums of war, as this national administration is currently doing, is that the noise begins to drown out reason, common sense and, eventually, sanity.

You mean the way we beat the drums that drowned out all the reason and common sense that helped us defeat Naziism during WWII? This guy needs a healthy dose of reality. There is another world beyond the ivy-covered walls of academia. Living in his sheltered world, he finds it hard to believe that we are actually at risk and something that some find repugnant must be done to alleviate that risk.

Wouldn't yuh know it. Mr Locke is another Liberal College Professor acting out his anti American Studies class. American college professors have turned our colleges into breading grounds of descent. The last 50 years of Liberal dominance in the congress of the USA has direct bearing on todays Moral decay.Wake up America

Lay aside, of course, the question of how -- in the absence of a declared war -- we justify going into someone else's country to wipe out its government.

If that's the issue, by all means declare war (on the grounds of repeated violation of the 1991 cease-fire accord).

"Iran, Iraq and North Korea -- and possibly Russia and China"

Can anybody tell me when Bush mentioned Russia and/or China? Were does this guy get Russia and/or China? Did this knucklehead even listen to Bush's speech?

When I started reading this "piece", I thought that I was reading a leftist anti war propaganda leaflet. Of course, when I saw "Professor" at the bottom, I realized that it was just an op ed "piece".

Just think ladies and gentlemen, our tax dollars are paying for these "professors". Can anyone tell me why?

[boris]

This guy's right. It would be better just to surrender immediately.

This 'professor,' and I use the term loosely, wouldn't be shooting off his mouth like a loose cannon if the West Coast was hit instead of New York City and Washington D.C.

Some people just don't get it until the day trouble lands in their backyard.

Hubert G. Locke, Seattle, is a retired professor and former dean of the Daniel J. Evans Graduate School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington and a monumentally huge twit.

[Steve_Seattle]

"nuclear insanity"

Apparently Mr. Locke regards Mutual Assured Destruction - the doctrine he is defending - as "sanity."

[Steve0113]

Bush proclaimed his "axis of evil" and put Iran, Iraq and North Korea -- and possibly Russia and China -- on a list of suspect-nations with which the United States would prepare to do battle in the name of demolishing weapons of mass destruction.

Bush never mentioned Russia or China. Nor did he mention doing battle with these countries. This guy is delusional.

[Dan from Michigan]

Mr Locke is a chickensh*t.

[Kermit]

"In at least one of the three pariah countries, a fierce political battle is being waged between moderation and fanaticism; consigning the country to the ash bin of evil managed to ineptly breathe more life into the fanatics and their cause."

Just as Reagan's denunciation of the Soviet Union as the Evil Empire electrified the opponents of that totalitarian regime, Bush's calling Iraq, Iran and North Korea has probably had the same effect.

We do know that the reporter, who got to the anti-Saddam Kurds were vastly encouraged by Bush's description of Saddam Hussein as evil. The Iranian anti-Mullahs are stronger than ever, even though, this has only been reported by Michael Ledeen as far as I can tell. The author of this piece is a foreign policy doofus, like many at the State Dept today.

[wattsmag2]

Shot for brains is the best thing I could say about this writer.

[DonPaulJones]

When do we say enough is enough and put scum like this where it belongs, on the garbage heap?????

I am sick and tired of these anti-US sh*tbags. They lead a life of relative leisure, bad mouth anything pro-US, while working stiffs pay taxes which in turn fund their salaries. HANG THEM BY THE NECK UNTIL DEAD, I SAY.

[Brett66]

Oooooh nuclear scary, bad bad bad. Saddam Hussein with nukes is even scarier. This guy has head-up-the-buttitis.
