Ender's Game was a good book but Card himself is 31 different flavors of crazy. He thinks gay sex should be a crime because that would force gays back into the closet so that none of us have to watch them do it. The man has many literary talents, the greatest of which is that he can actually make himself sound sane.

he says of OBAMA "....claim you always opposed the war that is actually doing the only thing that's effective against these terrorists.." yeah right Card 🙄
He critizies Clinton and thinks that Pakistan is a democrate country. Man is this guy stupid... the pakistanis hate Musharraf.

I think where he is off hte mark farthest is on the democrats. In the primaries, the parties have to pander to their base and much of the democrat base is fanatically anti-war. The democrats statements reflect their base more than how they would act as president. Hillary, especially so. I think she would be far better than her pathetic statement would lead us to believe.

Americans don't give one whit, jot or tittle about Pakistan or Bhutto -- they want to know how many goodies each candidate will bestow upon them if elected president.
