June 18, 2002 -- Goofy CNN founder Ted Turner, who once called the 9/11 hijackers "brave," has let loose another humdinger - this time accusing Israel of waging "terrorism" against the Palestinians.

"The Israelis . . . they've got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing. So who are the terrorists?" Turner asks in an interview published in today's Guardian newspaper in Britain.

It's pretty damn easy to sit in your cushy glass house passing judement on whole nations when you know that your billions are going to protect you and your family from any grief.

And as we all know, people with glass houses should not throw stones.

Ted Turner is right, you have to look at the whole picture, as it has evolved since the end of WWII, not just the politically correct view. It seems people just love to hate Ted Turner. I heard a lecture he gave once to students at Harvard -- Ted Turner is no idiot.

As for Jane Fonda, people love to hate her too. Regarding her trips to Viet Nam -- don't you think if this government had not enabled her going over there, it never would have happened. The leading policy makers realized the war was a mistake, it's all out there; the McNamarra Book, the truth about the Gulf of Tonkin, I think they just let Jane go so she could take the heat when it was over. They knew that much of the American public would take it at face value and direct their anger toward her -- and, they still do.

Actually, more like this. For the record, I'm also anti-abortion.

Are you on drugs?

[TiaS]

No, not now, nor have I ever been. Would you care to see the results of my drug tests.

[meyer]

Only in written form, thank you.

Hey, do you all even realize it was Israel that hijacked the first airliner in that region?? Do you realize zionists blew up the King David hotel with a car bomb in 1946.
