Dinesh D'Souza is an American patriot. He has defended the principles of the U.S. Constitution, which as I understand it are the principles of the operators of this forum, in front of many hostile audiences. He did not criticize American armed forces personnel in any way. To point out that terrorists, commandos, warriors or whatever term you wish to use who die willingly for their cause are not cowards should hardly be controversial.
As for Bill Maher, there is nothing good to say, except maybe that even a stopped clock can be right twice a day. Of course he should have named Bill Clinton, perpetrator of the stupid, wasteful bombing of the Serbians and the criminal launching of the "Monica missiles". Now that would have been calling a coward a coward.
Mole - agreed on what you said. D'Sousa is a fine man.
J - you've got a book or two of his, dontcha? ;)
