I am so embarrassed and ashamed to read of clowns like George Clooney spouting off in the German press about what a rotten country we are. The best retaliation is a well-publicized boycott of every movie, stage and other public appearance these traitors produce. Hit 'em in the pocketbook, over and over, and maybe they'll prove just shallow enough to keep their mindless drivel to themselves. Are there enough freepers mad enough to get and keep the ball rolling on this?
The word "diversity" had no human context in that era, at least as we know it. In truth, the new world was colonized by pockets and conclaves of religious and ethnic groups wishing to be free and isolated with people just like them -- the very antithesis of what we now "celebrate as diversity."
Carter has crossed the line. I believe he is a traitor to his Country, and should be arrested and tried. I cannot accept that he continues to hold a commission (retired) in the United States Navy with his flagrant undermining of the national interests of his country.
Hackworth has adopted a very urgent, almost desperate, tone and delivery in his opposition to war with Iraq, which bears an eerie resemblance to that of Scott Ritter. It is unbelievable to me that this original hawk could turn so quickly and so completely.
