To the attackers..

It seems that someone has a problem with free speech. Maybe someone in an oppressed part of the world (does the Mideast ring a bell?) or maybe the Pentagon is trying out its latest cyberwar toy (too many people critical of George Dubya?). Either way, get over it, this is a bastion of free speech and will continue to be one. I'll say George Dubya and his lapdog Tony Blair are wrong. But, so are France (a major trading partner of Iraq), and Germany (many investments in Iraq), and shame on Turkey, selling its principles for many billions of dollars, hey they are the best ally money can buy. Here we go down the same path we've traveled before, buy people (like we did Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Ladin) then discard them when we've used them. Can you name other dictators we have owned?
