Then of course duckln by his own statement agrees with Chomsky and Robert Fisk that America is not a civilized and humane country, so it may be that he is just on the other side.

Not so, this is demonizing at the level of noted Democrats. For the record I believe 'America is a civilized and humane country', and more, But but not all its' people are.

A more important adjective is a 'truthfull' country, with a 'free press', which is the pillar of it all. Unfortunately NRO falls short despite the talent they claim.

Hey, duck, you said it, I just noted it. I can't be expected to read your mind. If you don't want to be mistaken for an America-hater, don't talk like one.

One more point: a free press is, among other things, one that doesn't have to talk endlessly about Slobo, even though you want it to. You want to rave about Slobo, get a blog and rave on. You're free to do that, I'm free not to read it, and NR is free to say anything it wants about Slobo, or for that matter, nothing at all.

That's a free press, and if you don't think there's any difference between that and Saudi Arabia, well, I'm sure the nurse will be bringing your medication soon.
