    Its says alot about the UN that no American city is on the list. Oh well, at least San Francisco isn't on the list and Australia (a loyal ally) is on the list. Good job Aussies!

    Leave Ann alone! In each of her books she has changed the political discourse and has brought up subjects and points that many people weren't debating and discussing before she did raise them. She has every right to critique Pat Tillman. Statements like that give aid and comfort to our enemies both at home and abroad, whether you all believe it or not. Think I'm being harsh, WAR is HELL. The Civil War was ugly and so was WWII. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and FDR interned people from all Axis countries. Ronald Reagan was able to win the Cold War without firing a nuclear shot, hopefully GW can learn some listens from him to promote greater democracy in the Arab Islamic world. We have a job to do and I have no use for traitors. Timothy McVeigh, George McGovern, John Kerry, and Adolf Hitler all served in the military, that doesn't give them a life long pass. Who does Tillman think he is? In many ways Iraq is a more important war than Afghanistan because it is the heart of the Middle East, we must strive for victory and if we have to draft than SO BE IT. I would be scared to fight in a war, but aware that freedom is not free. It's likely not going to happen since we are too spoiled and politically-correct to call Arab Islamic society evil.THESE PEOPLE WANT WAR! Why can't people remember 9-11, and the rest of the attacks that Muslim extremists have perpetuated upon us over the last 25 years. It won't go away until we end their hope and will to fight. We must face this through war or democratic subversion. Perhaps Don Feder was right, we are addicted to bumper-sticker patriotism. Yes Tillman has free speech but so does Ann, I, Rush, and all our troops. By the way, Pat didn't die a hero's death, he died in a tragic accident caused by friendly fire.
