“I was angry that five soldiers — the real heroes in my mind — were killed the same day and got far lower billing in the newscasts.”

Since when have soldiers become the “real heroes” to Kos? Only when he’s trying to save his ass for mercenary reasons like losing blogads!

O.T.?
On Roger S’s blog you you commented on my comment about finishing with the Iraqi problem way back in 1991. As I am half a world away I only saw it this afternoon. Just some things that I feel Americans should be made aware of:
Firstly, no matter what you do you will not be loved by most of the world. Forget what the neighbors think and get on with what is good for you!
I started seeing things way back in the 70’s from South Africa. The French gave them the licence to produce the Mirage fighter and other weapons, the Belgians sold them all the Fabrique National arms. As for German involvement…Nobody said a word about that, not even the American students screaming for a boycott of everything South African; but howled blue murder at an Israeli/South African arms agreement.
Then during the many years I spent in Brazil I witnessed the most brazen hypocrisy. They blamed America for every ailment of Brazilian society and turned a blind eye to European perfidy. The US was absorbing more than 40% of Brazilian GDP and France was blocking the sales of Brazilian produce to the Arab block and third world countries.
The European companies abused Brazilian labour laws, besides dumping the spoiled (Tchernobyl) dairy produce (Brazil had sufficient but Nestle and others manipulated the market). Bayer was producing blood products from sick donors; and the Brazilians sang “Go Home Yank!”. We discovered to our horror that the food we bought to give to our baby son was contaminated. I suppose using Kos’s rationale we are mercenaries and deserved it.
To get back to Iraq, the worst problem you Americans have from my point of view is the State Dept. James Baker and kind have been the biggest stumbling block to a coherent stance against Iraq from day one and the present crowd follow in the Lobyist’s footsteps. I may seem very cynical but watching things on the ground here in Israel has made me so and believe me if I have doubts about America’s ‘dual’ approach to terrorism, then more so for the Arab populace.

The only valuable service that these idiots can provide to mankind during their brief period on earth is to show everyone how totalitarian they are. No idea is rational and just but theirs. One stone hits 2 birds combined in a powerful delivery, John.

GEORGE BUSH: THE REAL HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST

George Bush’s human rights triumph is why some liberals like Markos Zuniga (Kos) feel they must resort to shameful rhetoric – concerning the young men who were burned alive, mutilated and left to hang from a bridge – by saying the murdered Americans …

John,

I’ve run across your comments several places, most often at Samizdata. The above take on Kos is dead solid perfect. Didn’t surprise me one bit. Nice work. Thanks.

Just one more leftist scumbag revealed as…a leftist scumbag.

As Connie Du Toit has just said, scratch a liberal/socialist and you’ll find a totalitarian/fascist within.
