There's too many nitwits like him unfortunately, so you might have to accept
the fact that it may be 10-20 years before your views are understood by
most.

"> on the freedom of Americans?  Walter Williams had a very good column

How the hell would he know? Is he in the inner loop of confidential US
security information?
No hes' not,  nor 99.9.8 of the world population. Christ fear those that
claim they have all the answers.

There's 1.24 million people (0.02% of world population) in the inner circles
of the US security service? -Wow!! ;-)

Gotta love details like the Captain America sig.

It is sad that someone from a country with such relatively high educational
standards as the US,  can be so narrowminded and so unable to seperate fact
from the fiction seen on TV.

Mikkel

... but I guess you will make a good frontline soldier. Don't think any
independent thoughts, be gung-ho and just do what TV ( or your officer)
tells you to do.

Go play the fool somewhere else Captain No-Clue, this is not

PS: and yes, I actually do find the US a great nation in many ways...

Wow what an insight you must have in global politics.... NOT
I guess your quote says it all, lets burn some more villages to save them
eh?

Believing in a quote like the one you just posted says it all I guess.
You have a lot in common with the *** Talebans.

Why don't you read the article and respond to what it is you find factually
wrong
there ??
America IS a great nation, no argument there... but wake up and smell the
coffee, you yourself
have outfitted the sick bastards who now have turned on their former master.
You yourself have been a very active player in the complex politics that led
to this.

Mikkel

Believe it or not.. no offense intended to any "normal" americans, sometimes
the patriotic extremists just drives me nuts ;)

10 kids die each day in the U.S. due to handguns, but the only time we get
weepy over it and make a big emotional display of concern  is when all 10
die in a high school at the same time. Of course we then blame the media and
do nothing.

Look at the bright side Mr. Thompson, you will now soon be able to go to the
cinema and watch "Black Hawk Down 2", this time with a "happy" ending...

I quote the admirable Captain America.... "The civilian scumbags of the
countries that harbor these terrorists
were dancing in the streets at the news of thousands of American civilians
killed."

For heavens sake, the US propaganda industry makes good old entertaining
patriotic movies when you bomb an underdeveloped nation, and yet you
complain that some people were rejoicing when the US they see as their enemy
got a knife in the back at September 11.

Take a long hard look at the US reactions when the first strikes on
Afghanistan was reported.
And take an even longer harder look at the biased stuff that will pollute
the cinema's the next years.

We all are human and we all are guilty of liking it when our percieved enemy
gets a beating... Talebans, Americans, Danes and the guys at the South Pole.
We all have an urge for revenge when we are done wrong and I very well
understand the lust in the US for ***ing the responsible. But (and this is
an important "but")  we in the "free" world have chosen a select few to
guide us... the politicians. It is the damned job of these politicians to do
what is right, not what is lusted for... that's why we picked them, because
we believed them to be worthy of making the right choices for us.
When these leaders start crumbling to their lust for revenge and heroics
they no longer deserve this trust and they no longer are fit to make our
choices.

Leaders are for stopping *** mobs, not incite them as Mr. Bush is doing.

What is the morale of this rant... I'm not even sure I knowmyself, but it's
probably something like this advice to Mr. Bush:

"Do not abuse the sympathy and cooperation from most of this planet, in
order to fullfill your natural, very and understandable, lust for revenge.
Do what IS right, not what FEELS right at this emotional moment in time. It
takes a true leader to make people accept the politics of what is right
instead of going on pure instinct, this is your shot at showing the rest of
us that you are a man worthy of your presidential seat."

Mikkel

Please leave those poor victims and their families alone now, and stop
abusing the memory of them.

Just think of it... You are using a tattered flag that symbolizes the death
of thousands, as a rallying point for blind patriotism and for a prolonged
war that WILL kill thousands and thousands of innocent bystanders....
Do you ***thirsty idiots (Rik & Captain America) really believe that the
unjustifiable and horroble killing of thousands of american citizens,
justifies the bombing and killing of  innumerable innocents in the so-called
"war on terrorists" ??
If so, then the bermensch theory lives proud once again in your minds. The
bermensch is worth more than other people of lesser nations and lesser
races... and killing these lesser people is justifiable, it's all in the
name of peace and world order. This time the bermensch theory is an
American concept... a very sad & frightening thought.

This ought to be a time of mourning and reflection, not a time for more
killing.
Show the victims from that fatefull day in September some proper respect
dammit...  !

Mikkel

PS: Captain America and Rik, you need not respond that vengeance is your
show of respect... that sort of goes without saying.
