"The Bush administration is pursuing a vision in which the U.S. is not only the world's policeman, but also the world's military dictator, answerable only to itself."

What a crock. If the US were a conqering state, we'd rule most of the world by now.

I watched snipets of Tim Robbins whiney ass speech; "Susan and I are labeled as trators...", boo freakin' hoo Tim, you and your silly bitch wife brought it upon yourselves.

[Jorge]

Tim Robbins is delusional.

[americafirst]

I saw some of this last night. I'm glad the press is giving him so much airtime - he is so over the top that his ideas just sound silly now. He's become Martha Burke. Where'd he get that faux "Bill Buckley" accent anyway?

[RightOnline]

Would this idiot just please shut up????

[kattracks]

The more he talks the more people will come to see exactly what the Hollyweird crowd is made of.

[Dr. I. C. Spots]

If what this poor fool is saying is true, then he would be in jail by now. Just the fact that he is still out there babbling is proof that he's wacked. Shouldn't actors be acting instead of gradstanding on topics where they obviously know nothing?

[Jim Noble]

Rogue to what, exactly?

"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

I don't think the legitimacy of the United States government and its actions is the issue.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

America needs no more pity!!

We've earned respect and the fear of the terrorists and that's what it's all about!!

Robbins is a shallow freak out of step with reality and out of step with his nation.

Rest in peace you jerk!!

Newsweek.com reported Tuesday that President Bush's approval rating with the American public had risen 18 points in the past month to 71 percent.

"Bush gets strong marks for his handling of the war in Iraq and the larger war on terrorism, with 74 and 78 percent approving of his efforts in those areas respectively," Jennifer Barrett wrote for the newsmagazine's website.

"And a full 93 percent of those surveyed say they believe U.S. military efforts in Iraq have gone very well (73 percent) or somewhat well (20 percent) so far."

Robbins said:

"A unified American public has grown bitterly divided,"

Seems like Robbins needs a math lesson. How does 93 percent translate into bitterly divided?

[.45MAN]

Seems to me that it's the people that are against him, I havn't heard the president calling them traiters.

What these jerks don't seem to realize is that if the United States were really out to conquer the world, it would've happened back in the early 1950's when we held the monopoly on nuclear weaponry.

[kattracks]

I think that's what's driving these freaaks nuts. They don't want to see the US as a strong nation, protecting itself and it's citizens.

That's why they loved clinton, who nearly brought us to our knees, and spent a major portion of his time apologizing to third world countries for our standard of living.

[Skooz]

"Rogue state?" Hardly.

We are a nation which will defend itself and destroy our enemies when attacked.

But, who cares what this pathetic entertainer says anyway?

Actor and anti-war activist Tim Robbins said Tuesday that "it is time to get angry" over the Bush administration's alleged reprisals against opponents of the war.

Reminds me of a study a couple years back where they determined that one of the compensations about being truly stupid was that you didn't realize that you were, in fact, stupid.

Exhibit A: Tim Robbins.

[Schnucki]

Rogue to what, exactly?

That's what I was thinking. With dictators on the Human Rights commission and Russians together with Europeans propping up a dictatorship to exploit Iraqis for oil deals, being a rogue sounds like the only appropriate position.

[Bluntpoint]

"Rogue to what, exactly?"

When we stop toppling ruthless dictators who have us in their terrorists sights and we start invading Finland, Sweden or Berkley, CA., then I will agree that we have reached rogue status.

Until then, Mr. Robbins, shut up and worry about your wife's inventory of Depends and wrinkle cream.

"Al Qaeda was created and became empowered by the U.S. presence in Saudi Arabia following the first Gulf War,"

Gee, and here I thought it was bin Laden and his Daddy's money. Thanks for clearing that up Tim.
