If the situation were different though and say it was the United States acting as the Chinese are in say Puerto Rico, liberals (including the ones that post here) would be screeching and wailing and gnashing teeth that the whole world should boycott the Olympics in the US
i agree.. i think what the Americans are going in Iraq and Afganistan is the same as what the Chinese are doing in Tibet

I am glade you have seen sence at last SMSBear. THANK YOU

Well, your opinion is your opinion. Since your not Iraqi, your opinion of whats happening there now counts for little. Even if Obama gets elected one of his foreign policy wonks stated last week that the US would keep 80,000 troops in the country for a while. I guess that wonk still has a job with the campaign, who knows.

And thanks I always do my best to exercise common sence er cents er... sense in my posts. Yeah thats it common sense,

I been threatened with a ban here this last week, seems I'm a racist and didn't even know it I knew I was a heartless, souless, conservative, but a racist too? Boy, was i shocked!

However, even though the ban loomed over my head like the Sword of Damocles (sp?) I was able to function in my everyday life despite great personal pain over the whole incident

Ok, I used up my supply of sarcasm for a bit, need to have some coffee and refuel

I am all for kicking a man when he's down, or almost down, or even if he's still up. Or half up. But I've not read anything by you recently that warranted a ban. I mean, one thing that's absolutely clear here, you are no der schwarze Ritter. There may be some superficial overlap in terms of 'the political spectrum' etc. but while DSR on one hand is nothing more than a trite and malicious misery guts, you - on the other hand - say all these things that I don't agree with, but at the very least, they sound like beliefs and ideas rooted in a life lived, rather than just a desire to offend or show contempt.

Some are blatant hypocrites too, George Clooney for example. He is against American troops in Iraq, but he advocated sending American troops to Dafur ... where there are obviously strong and vital US interests.
There's nothing hypocritical about it once you realise that (and this is the complicated part) the situation in Darfur is not the same as the situation in Iraq.

Can't someone be an activist AND a dope?

Exactly! Have we forgotten that the situation in Darfur is a genocide? There's no hypocracy in saying that we should not overthrow oppressive regimes (Iraq), but we should use military force to protect people from genocide (Darfur).

...Hollywood dupes desperately searching for meaning?

I notice that quite a number of Hollywood types proudly wear the moniker "activist" after their name. For instance: Barbara Streisand, Robert Redford, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, George Clooney, Susan Surandan, Mrs. Surandan (Tim Robbins), Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Spicolli are all well-kn ...[text shortened]... want to usher in a one-world government by bringing about the downfall of the United States?
Hahaha! Jeff Spicoli!!! You know, Sean Penn has a lot of insightful things to say about domestic policy too:

"Mr. Jefferson was saying, 'eh! we left this England place 'cause is bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, Pronto, we're gonna bogus too!"
