With respect to you Proud.
I can understand your feelings. But if you were to put the shoe on another foot, then how would you look at? IMO, we must be very careful on using terms like terroists, etc. How many times do you see movies or even in real life recently do you see americans cheer when we dropped bombs on iraq in the gulf war and now.? Many Many times.(correct me if I am wrong) Is that ok... just because it is USA doing it? Do you not think to the people of Iraq that USA does not look like a terrorist act when they invaded their country in almost the exact same way that Saddam invaded Kuwait? It is Manali's opinion and he is entitled to it. We dont have to like it, it is just the way he feels. Freedom of speech. He is applauding an article in a point of view.
I think people have to learn to put emotions aside in order to accept the fact of freedom of speech. Do you think Rev. Wright is different from manali, and he speaks directly against the government?

WE DONT! because we are more human than Manali, and any life, from whereever you are in this world is precious.
So I am sorry I dont agree that Manali should be posting the Cr ap he posts, another thing, how would you feel if one or your family members was in Iraq fighting at the moment, I am sure you will not see it as a joke then. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Jake..
You do not know or not know if i have family members in Iraq. There is no joke. all you had to do was turn on the tv during the gulf war or even the iraqui beginnings and you could see the cheering of the usa people during the bombings. Are memories short here or what

One major thing coming to mind were the barbaric public displays of Sadam's two sons mutilated severed bodies put on display to be seen by the world .GWB/ USA had put contract out to kill them and have their bodies displayed. How sick is that with the justification being .. "they were really bad people". People cheered. How many people cheered when they hung Sadam.. Did you forget about that? Dont confuse yourself.
The point about manali postings are that there are no current rules that do not allow his posts. Please dont miss the point based on emotion.
