Again:

“You may not be interested in war,” said Trotsky, “but war is interested in you.” The Israelis have always grasped that. If war is going to come, why not ensure that it comes at a time and place as advantageous to one as possible? That’s a large part of what’s happening in the Middle East. If you try to avoid confronting Iran now, you’ll only have to confront them under worse circumstances later. Jimmy Carter, who embodied the West as a smiling eunuch, wanted to avoid confronting the newborn Islamic Republic three decades ago and now it’s a nuclear power.-NationalReview

Then show RW giving his grandma a headbutt for chiding him about living in her basement and blogging all day like a retard. He says, “But I rule. I know all. I see all. I am CyberGodMan!! Why Cant you See that, Grandma????”

Tehran has dragged its feet in response to the incentives offer. Iran’s leaders believe the United States is bogged down in Iraq, without the military strength or domestic support to confront other aggressors. The Bush administration failure to rebuild the military from the inadequate force levels {{{{inherited from the delusional 1990s}}}} has exposed U.S. lack of depth when dealing with the perpetual war tactics favored by both Muslim and communist foes. This has given Iran and North Korea the confidence to seize the initiative.-WashingtonTimes

The “big bang,” as invading Iraq has sometimes been called, was meant to reorder the nature of politics in the region. This has been accomplished in a fundamental way. The idea of dividing an enemy force into its constituent parts and then dealing with it piecemeal is at least as old as Caesar’s actions in Gaul. It applies no less to U.S. strategy in the Middle East. Every faction there has been made to reconsider its relationship with every other. Rather than there being a monolithic clash of civilizations, thus far the U.S. is dealing with the area in pieces—in whatever way it sees fit to do so—whether making it tacitly clear to Syria that what happened in Iraq could more easily happen to it, or threatening Iran on behalf of the region and world, or seeking cooperation with the Saudis in hunting down al Qaeda.-OpinionJournal

Cut

Conservative evangelicals are also hypocrites, Balmer contends. Absurdly, he cites conservative evangelical support for the bribe-taking Congressman Randy Cunningham, for a Washington state mayor who solicited sexual favors over the Internet, for Ralph Reed despite his coziness with gambling interests, and for the casino visiting William Bennett. After their public exposure, of course, Cunningham, the Spokane mayor, and Ralph Reed are all now politically finished.-AmericanSpectator

Connecticut may be a Democratic state, but like its big blue brothers, New York, Massachusetts and California, it has a Republican governor. The reason for this seems to reflect the desire of some Democrats to be nurtured by the nanny state yet governed by a daddy. This also demonstrates that some of them still have at least an iota of the sense with which they were born.-AmericanSpectator

Most public schools are far from outstanding. America’s government schools have rigid one-size-fits-all rules that reward mediocrity. Despite raising per-student spending to more than $10,000 (at least $200,000 per classroom!), test scores have stayed flat. On international tests, Americans now lag behind students from less developed nations like Poland and Korea that spend a fraction as much money on education.

American 4th graders do pretty well in international competitions. It’s by 12th grade that Americans are so far behind. The longer they spend in America’s bureaucratic schools, the worse they do.-RealClearPolitics

Regarding Andy’s education link. I’ve heard that saying before: “The longer American kids attend government schools, the dumber they become.”

I’ve always wondered if today’s limitless boundaries have any bearing on our kid’s desire to learn once they reach high school. Peer pressure has always brought about healthy and unhealthy competition. It wasn’t much different with previous generations. The desire to do wrong was there, the opportunities were limited through a social awareness though. I don’t think that awareness prevails anymore.

My parent’s always told me…”When the bill comes due, it’ll have your name on it.” It made me think when I crossed the line. I didn’t tread too far beyond the boundaries.

Democrats can’t come out and admit that they refuse to fight any war in defense of America, so they utter the “Where’s Osama?” incantation to pretend that they’d be doing something.

After making the capture of Osama bin Laden their sole objective in the war on terrorism, now Democrats expect us to believe they would have been fighting every other Muslim jihadist on the planet like mad — just not one of the main sponsors of Islamic terrorism, Saddam Hussein. But they’d be merciless with every other mass-murdering, Islamic terror-sponsoring lunatic. Israel’s recent tussle with Hezbollah reminds us how absurd the Democrats’ fixation on Osama is.-HumanEvents

If it weren’t for Andy:

“Thousands of lives were tragically lost on September 11th when these imposters of Islam reared their ugly head. Thousands more continue to die in Iraq today at the hands of the same terrorists who show complete disregard for human life,” he said. “Should democracy be allowed to fail in Iraq and terror permitted to triumph, then the war on terror will never be won elsewhere.”

A man who once carried a death sentence on his head and lived in exile for over 20 years, Al-Maliki is no utopian. He knows all about the sectarian divisions in his country, the threat of rogue militias, the security problems in Baghdad, the fears that drain away hope. “The journey has been perilous,” he told Congress, “and the future is not guaranteed.” Yet he remains resolved: “I will not allow terrorists to dictate to us our future.”

The cynics in his audience — the Ted Kennedy wing of the Democratic party — are not the ones to lead America into this future. They remain trapped in the past, it seems, an emotional quagmire of their own making.-NationalReview

At her best, Coulter writes well, but the chief source of her success is that she is a perfect match for the American ideal: smart as a whip but dumb as a post, educated but not learned, sexy but not sensuous, all at the same time. She would not hesitate to choose a sledgehammer over a stiletto because her instincts would pull her back from what the 18th century called “demolishing your enemies without raising your voice.” She would know that if a writer uses a stiletto, a lot of people might not get the point, but they would definitely get the loftiness that accompanies irony and understatement. And so, knowing that being called an elitist spells ruin, she opted for a sledgehammer and raised the roof instead.-NationalReview

Rushncap,

Well then the mystery is why you are still so fond of systems that are instruments of tyranny, starvation, death and oppression.

A lot of smart people who lived under Communism have figured that out. Here’s one of my favorites.

Here’s an excerpt from Amazon.com’s review:

{“Every day,” Balint Vazsonyi cautions, “serious persons tell us that ‘communism has lost,’ ‘socialism has collapsed,’ ‘conservatism is taking over America.’ Each of these is an inaccurate assumption, or the product of wishful thinking.” Despite the collapse of the Soviet bloc, he argues, democracy’s victory is unclear, because since the 1960s Americans have increasingly abandoned the basic principles—“the rule of law, individual rights, guaranteed property, and a common American identity”—on which the United States was founded.”}

{“In America’s 30 Years War, Vazsonyi—a concert pianist and political commentator who arrived in the United States in 1959, fleeing his native Hungary after the failed revolt against Soviet occupation—elaborates upon his distinction between the “Anglo-American” principles of liberty he finds in the Founding Fathers’ intentions and the “Franco-Germanic” social theories that he claims, in their “search for social justice,” lead inevitably to communism…”}

Picture ME patting YOU on the head.

Ah, I Wiki-ed “cultural marxism”. Sounds cute. Apparently those who attack it have quite cozy ties to the Nazis.

“In 1932 Pope Pius XII advised the Centre Party to work with Hitler’s National Socialists in a coalition to stop what was called the “cultural Bolshevizing” of Germany.”

Also “at a major Holocaust denial conference put on by veteran anti-Semite Willis Carto in Washington, D.C., Lind gave a well-received speech before some 120 “historical revisionists,” conspiracy theorists, neo-Nazis and other anti-Semites, in which he identified a small group of people who he said had poisoned American culture. On this point, Lind made a powerful connection with his listeners.”

There you go, assuming that being “esoteric” is what counts and linking the words “effete” and “liberal”.

Useful Idiot -

“Term invented in Soviet Russia to describe people who blindly supported the likes of Lenin and Stalin while they committed atrocity after atrocity.

[Today, it refers to brainwashed liberals and leftists the world over (usually college students that aren’t necessarily idiots, but just misinformed, naive, and ignorant of facts due to being indoctrinated with liberal/socialist propaganda through their public education) who believe that George W. Bush has committed more crimes against humanity than leftist darlings like Saddam Hussain, Yasser Arafat, and Osama Bin Laden, and still defend Communism, the cause of over 100 million deaths to this day.]”(http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Useful+idiot)

Cultural Marxism -

Read this and you’ll get the gist of it.

Here is a Leftist’s really boring promotion of the concept.

Now that I’ve proven to you that the term does exist, you can do the rest of the research yourself, Rushncap.

Now I’m female, but when he told me that the way he gets those contracts is because his wife holds ownership and assets to the business and they are awarded the contracts because of “liberal” affirmative action, it irritated me. They’re working the “liberal” government system, and somebody, possibly more deserving, lost the contract because of their manipulating the system.

Pander and Run-WashingtonPost

How, exactly, publicly humiliating Maliki and making him look like an American and Israeli stooge would enhance his “leadership” was never explained in the missive. But of course Reid’s letter wasn’t really about strengthening the Iraqi government at all; that’s George W. Bush’s problem. It was about appearing more pro-Israel than the White House and thus pandering to Jewish voters.

Cut

The perversity of today’s international outcry lies in the fact that there is indeed a disproportion in this war, a radical moral asymmetry between Hezbollah and Israel: Hezbollah is deliberately trying to create civilian casualties on both sides while Israel is deliberately trying to minimize civilian casualties, also on both sides.

Israel knows that these leaflets and warnings give the Hezbollah fighters time to escape and regroup. The advance notification as to where the next attack is coming has allowed Hezbollah to set up elaborate ambushes. The result? Unexpectedly high Israeli infantry casualties. Moral scrupulousness paid in blood. Israeli soldiers die so that Lebanese civilians will not, and who does the international community condemn for disregarding civilian life?-WashingtonPost

Cut

What’s a win for America? A win for the country America is arming in this fight, Israel, is a win for America. So is any resolution that shows the terror-sponsoring aggressors, Iran and Syria, that after they attack they wind up in a worse position than before, not a better position. That is the message that President Bush sent to Afghanistan and Iraq after September 11, 2001, and the American mainland hasn’t been hit since. Mr. Bush has been strong so far, saying yesterday, “Our objective is to make sure those who use terrorist tactics are not rewarded.” Those will be words for Secretary Rice to keep in mind as she returns to the Middle East on Sunday.

The military calls the new battle for Baghdad “Operation Together Forward.” It began about two weeks ago, with raids by U.S. and British special operations forces to capture or kill death squad leaders. So far, about 10 have been “taken out,” most of them members of the Mahdi Army, according to administration officials. The operations included a strike by British forces against a Mahdi Army lieutenant who had been terrorizing residents of Basra in southern Iraq.-WashingtonPost

Death squads? From David Ignatius? What happen to “insurgents?”

Cut

Congress may finally be doing something right on energy production. The Senate is moving strongly toward passage of a bill that will open more coastal waters for drilling and that will share revenues with the states that allow it (which should eventually provide the incentives for more states to push for allowing drilling off their coasts, even if Florida never does and never will be forced to do so). And the White House now seems to be going along not just with the drilling, but with the revenue sharing it previously had opposed. (See here.) Now if only Congress also would do more to boost refining capacity (e.g., here), maybe this nation would finally be on a path toward eventually keeping gasoline and other energy prices comparatively low again. Oh…and for that matter, anybody who opposes drilling in ANWR has no right, ever, ever, ever, to complain about high energy prices or energy shortages.-AmericanSpectator

And don’t forget the old anti-Semitism. If Russia or France were shelled by neighbors, Putin and Chirac would be threatening nuclear retaliation.

Israel is the symbol of the hated West. Were it a client of China, no one would dare say a word.

The other desideratum is the destruction of Israel itself. Iran promised to wipe Israel off the map, and then gave Hezbollah thousands of missiles to fulfill that pledge. In response, the world snored. If tomorrow more powerful rockets hit Tel Aviv armed with Syrian chemicals or biological agents, or Iranian nukes, the “international” community would urge “restraint” — and keep urging it until Israel disappeared altogether.-VictorDavisHansenNationalReview

Buckley finally gets back on track:

Mr. Rove began by describing the scene in the last year of President Clinton’s tenure. Rove summarized what it is one sees when the economy is declining, namely, falling investment, falling consumer confidence and falling stock markets. “The stock market began its decline in mid-January 2000, dropping from an all-time high of more than 11,700 in the Dow to below 9,800 in early March 2000.” By the third quarter of 2000, GDP had declined by an annual rate of 0.5 percent. “And all of this took place before George W. Bush set foot in the Oval Office.”

The charge that only the rich were the beneficiaries of the tax cuts? Rove answers: “If this were true, then logic tells you that the percentage of federal income taxes paid by the wealthy would be falling after the tax cuts.” That did not happen: The top 1 percent of the nation’s earners, those making more than $317,000 per year, saw their share of the nation’s income tax go up (by 1.5 percent), not down. The top 3 percent (making more than $200,000) paid a 5 percent larger share of taxes. Rove quoted a finding of The Wall Street Journal: “For every 100 Americans today, the wealthiest three are paying taxes equivalent to the other 97 combined.”-RealClearPolitics

Clinton’s “war,” er, bombing campaign still festers:

Because of Mr. Clinton’s flawed Balkans policy (based on self-inflicted atrocities by Bosnian Muslim forces), Bosnia has become al Qaeda’s corridor into Europe. This was evident as far back as 1992 when authors Yossef Bodansky and Vaughn S. Forrest wrote a report for the House Republican Research Committee on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare titled, “Iran’s European Springboard?” That report said, “Thus, Tehran and its allies are using the violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina as a springboard for the launching of a jihad in Europe…. Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Muslims have long been considered by the Islamist leadership in the Middle East to be ripe as a vehicle for the expansion of Islamic militancy into Europe.”

A 1997 report for the Senate Republican Policy Committee titled, “Clinton-Approved Iranian Arms Transfers Help Turn Bosnia into Militant Islamic Base,” identifies Bosnia as “a steppingstone” into Western Europe. These predictions have been borne out by reports the explosives in London subway bombings and Madrid train bombings have been traced back to the Balkans.-WashingtonTimes

It would be difficult to exaggerate the predictions of doom hurled against the Republican welfare reform bill signed by President Clinton on Aug. 22, 1996.

The left, led by senior Democrats in Congress, the editorial pages of many of the nation’s leading newspapers, the Catholic bishops, child advocates in Washington and the professoriate, had assaulted the bill in terms that are rare, even by today’s coarse standards. Democrats speaking on the floor of the House labeled the bill “harsh,” “cruel” and “mean-spirited.” They claimed that it “attacked,” “punished” and “lashed out at” children. Columnist Bob Herbert said the bill conducted a “jihad” against the poor, made “war on kids” and “deliberately inflict[ed] harm” on children and the poor. Sen. Frank Lautenberg said poor children would be reduced to “begging for money, begging for food, and … engaging in prostitution.”-OpinionJournal

Washington has embraced an alternative to $3-a-gallon gasoline — $4-a-gallon ethanol. That’s the cost of this federally mandated fuel additive, when you take everything into account. Ethanol, produced mostly from Midwestern corn, currently wholesales for more than $3 a gallon.

And that’s the Midwest price — ethanol costs even more on the coasts because it can’t be sent through pipelines and thus is costlier to ship than gasoline. At these prices, adding even small amounts of ethanol to gas can boost pump prices by 20 cents per gallon or more. In addition, the Energy Department reports, “Ethanol has only about two-thirds the energy content of an equivalent volume of gasoline,” so it substantially reduces fuel economy. In effect, using it is like switching to a larger vehicle.-WashingtonTimes

We live in an age of inversely proportional deterrence: The more militarily powerful a civilized nation is, the less its enemies have to fear the full force of that power ever being unleashed. They know America and other Western powers fight under the most stringent self-imposed etiquette. Overwhelming force is one thing; overwhelming force behaving underwhelmingly as a matter of policy is quite another.

The professionalization of war is also the ghettoization of war.

Hezbollah’s barbaric assault on Israel — kidnapping soldiers who weren’t engaged in hostilities, firing waves of missiles into cities and towns, packing rockets with ball bearings designed to maximize suffering by shredding human flesh — is part and parcel of the radical Islamist jihad against the free world.

We consider [America] to be an enemy because it wants to humiliate our governments, our regimes, and our peoples," railed Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, at an enormous rally in February 2005.

It’s a matter of degree with significant distinctions in how each side calculates the death of civilians as a necessary cost of war. Israel has tried, with varying success, to keep their offensive arms away from places where women and children live, often at the price of their own casualties. But that’s not always possible, particularly against a foe who mocks the Western concern for life and boasts that his version of Islam welcomes and celebrates death. Hezbollah hides its arms in private homes, inviting attack, and weaves its tunnels beneath the communities of civilian women and children. It’s only with incredible chutzpah that anyone blames Israel for bombing those places where the enemy stockpiles its weapons and reserves. Israel aims at places where terrorists hide.

Look at this ludicrous statement:

Even before the death toll spiked yesterday, the Bush administration’s diplomacy on Lebanon looked like a long shot. The goal, as laid out by administration officials, is to secure a cease-fire that removes the threat that Hezbollah poses to Israel. But Hezbollah’s central function is to threaten Israel; that is the purpose for which Iran and Syria sustain it. Hezbollah is unlikely to renounce its reason for existence in the course of a negotiation. And the promised international peacekeepers will be hard-pressed to contain a militia that has proved capable of resisting Israel.-WashingtonTimes

No one has asked Hezbollah to “renounce” itself.

Why do we put up with this? Why do we put up with porn on the candy aisle of the grocery store, Internet portals that allow child-porn clubs on their websites, and cable contracts that force us to subscribe to sleaze if we want Sesame Street?

You’d think parents, with Adam Walsh and our own children in mind, would do everything they could to rid the world of the child porn that drives pedophiles to commit crimes against children. Last week’s bill-signing is a sobering reminder of how many victims are out there—and, tragically, how many more victims there are to come.

I guess getagrip is too hysterical to notice that Hezbollah is the ones PURPOSEFULLY endangering children, just like liberalism does here in America, and by him blaming Bush and Israel, it only excuses the real perpetrators of the crime.

Is it his agenda?

getalife- This is the face of the new Republican party, I’m afraid. It is only more rabid now because the GOP realizes that it has lost support from middle America and the midterms are staring them in the face.

The Democrats have some looney ideas at times but they, at least, still act partly in accordance with the will of the people and the good of our country rather than completely with the interests of their corporate sponsorship. It is unfortunate that there is no viable third party in America.

It is occasionally amusing to watch the shills twist in the wind with such ardour, however. When they have lost the GOP its’ short-lived hold on power, I wonder if the paychecks will still keep rolling in?

I have little time or access to engage in debate here at present but I’ll be back in another month. I am currently filling a DWB billet in Nong Kai, Thailand and seeing how other cultures view America these days has been a real eye opener. Radical Islam is even gaining a strong foothold in the southern provinces of the “Land of Smiles” under this administrations’ foreign policy efforts. I fear that GWB has destroyed America’s reputation as the “light of the world” for all time.

BTW- การอมพุ่มไม้เตี้ย (Bush Sucks) is an amusing and popular slogan here. Wish I could stay and chat but it is 10pm here and I’ll be up before dawn tommorow.

RW,

It’s interesting that even Democrat talking points babe, Kristen Powers agrees with us on the Hezbo situation.

They have a very simple m.o.:

Use women, children, U.N. “Peacekeepers” as human sacrifices. Get the Getalifes of the world outraged by fooling them into thinking it was Israels’ fault. Reap the reward and do it again. Pretend that they are compassionate and we are not.

Getalife,

Your idea of compassion is to reward cowardly savages who use children. Nice way to feel like a nice guy. I’ll take my compassion over yours anyday.

What does corporate interest have to do with standing up for a people that are being attacked day in and day out by rockets being launched indiscriminately at any civilian population center?

If standing up for freedom makes Thailand hate us then so be it. I would say our image in the world is much more a result of your rhetoric than our foreign policy, but even if it isn’t I would prefer to do the right thing.

getalife brings up the “greatest generation” to bolster his argument. Well part of what they fought against was extermination of the Jews. Why is everybody so anxious to sacrifice the Jewish people for the illusion of peace now?

Our commanding officer kept walking around, touching everybody on the shoulder, smiling and encouraging us: “We’re are better than they are. Don’t worry.” It calmed us all down. And really, we were much better than them. They are a lousy army. They only win when they hide behind baby carriages.

So, don’t cry to me about civilian casualties. Cry to those using your babies and wives and mothers; cry to those who store weapons in mosques, ambulances, hospitals and private homes. Cry to those launching deadly rockets from the backyards of your kindergartens and schools. Cry to the heartless men who love death, and who, however many of their troops or civilians die, consider themselves victorious as long as they can keep on firing rockets at our women and children.-IsraeliNationalNews

She is at least a little cute which is why they roll her out every ten minutes or so I guess.

You know every time there is a policy rift among Republicans, like immigration or the ports deal, we hear that the end of the Republican party is upon us. I always laugh at that because if they think a minor disagreement is going to push anyone to Democrats they’re crazy.

By contrast the Democrats must really believe that lockstep unity business or they wouldn’t bring it up all the time.

Mexico is the hottest climate I have ever been in. It would stand to reason, that if they’re like me and have grown up in a warm climate, they would prefer it just as I do.

Snowbirds like warm climate because they’re usually older people more inclined to be cold natured.

No, what Sherman created, in service to the great Republican president Lincoln, was a Strong United Country out of one that had threatened to dissolve itself, a dissolution that would have changed the world in such a way to have left Merry Old England to fend for herself against the Nazi hordes.

As for the good points… Hamas has been brought low. This won’t last, but it gives the Israelis some time to maneuver. The same, to a lesser extent, is true of Hezbollah, which has suffered serious damage. Iran, after months of bluster, effectively collapsed when the rubber hit the road, crying for the UN, for cease-fires, for peace conferences, for anything apart from what it’s been demanding for months: the annihilation of Israel. This may well be the longest period Ahmadinejad has been quiet since his election. All this needs to be kept in mind during the next Iranian crisis.-RealClearPolitics

Liberals have a strange way of choosing who they want their enemies to be. For example; a former “liberal” poster whose name started with an “f” used the term “tar baby” on this site everytime he referred to the war in Iraq. No liberal here ever chastised him for it.

Mitt Romney, Republican, uses the same term when talking about the Big Dig in Massachussetts, and he gets accused of making a racial comment???

Mitt Romney knew as much about “Uncle Remus” as I did, which is nothing. But it served the Democrats “part-is-on” politics to use it. Shameful, just like rushncap.

If these and other tactics remind you of al Qaeda and the insurgents in Iraq, they should. They are the reality of today’s asymmetrical terrorist methods, and their success in Lebanon will only mean the further spread of those methods against others in the Mideast and beyond.

There are certainly risks to this strategy, in the loss of more Israeli and Lebanese lives and further global criticism of both the Jewish state and the U.S. But now that the war has been joined, and Israel has pledged not to stop without disarming Hezbollah, a defeat for Israel will mean more danger and far more casualties down the road.-OpinionJournal

Before Gibson there was Kofi Annan. I do not accuse the United Nations secretary general of anti-Semitism — a slam dunk, in Gibson’s case — but here again there is a rush to judgment, an impatience, an anger and a general vexation that, at best, is worrisome. When an Israeli airstrike in Southern Lebanon killed four U.N. observers last week, Annan was quick to say Israeli had done so deliberately. Why Israel would do such a thing — what’s the benefit to it? — went unexplained or, even it seemed, unconsidered. Annan, who later said he would await an Israeli report on the incident, was having a mini-Mel Gibson moment.-RealClearPolitics

The article of the month:

It is difficult to overstate the damage done to the world by television news. Even when not driven by political bias — an exceedingly rare occurrence globally — television news presents a thoroughly distorted picture of the world. Because it is almost entirely dependent upon pictures, TV news is only capable of showing human suffering in, or caused by, free countries. So even if the BBC or CNN were interested in showing the suffering of millions of Sudanese blacks or North Koreans — and they are not interested in so doing — they cannot do it because reporters cannot visit Sudan or North Korea and video freely.

When you offend Muslims, you risk getting a fatwa, having your editorial offices burned down or receiving death threats. Jews don’t burn down their critics’ offices, issue fatwas or send death threats, let alone act on such threats.-RealClearPolitics

The drive by media is filled with cowards, attacking Israel and the U.S. with no fear of retribution.

In a paper entitled “Wal-Mart: A Progressive Success Story,” a former economic adviser to the Kerry campaign, Jason Furman, cites what he describes as “plausible estimates” of Wal-Mart’s benefits that show the retailer saving Americans $263 billion in 2004. That benefit helps lower-income people the most. Shopping at Wal-Mart yields grocery-bill savings equivalent to a 6.5% raise for families in the bottom income quintile.-NYSun

So, Anti-Radical, our so-called blogging doctor now says that he is in Thailand for a month, working for Doctors Without Borders. Maybe even donating his time.

DWB is supposed to be a NONPOLITICAL organization tending strickly to unmet emergency medical needs around the world. They send several types of medical personnel, not just doctors. Does anybody think that Anti-Rad is keeping his mouth shut about American politics while in Thailand? That he is not agreeing and capitalizing every anti-American comment he hears?

The jist of this is: I shall write Doctors without Borders and ask them why they are sending people who speak against American government when that is against their policy. Also I will mention that I will no longer contribute to their organization under these circumstances. It HAD been one of my favorites.
