Bagpuss,
   I disagree. The fact that she used the venue and audience that she did WAS cowardly, the fact that she didn't think it would get back to the US was just stupid!

Greg,
   I believe it's cowardly because her attack was made from London and the person she was attacking was an ocean away. I never said anything about it being strictly an American issue nor was I excluding the UK. Somehow you concluded that from my remarks.

Steve,
   My only point about celebs is that yes, I totally agree they have the right to their opinion AND they have a right to express it in the media, however, their opinions have much more potential to have an impact on a soldier that hears it than if I were to make a statement to the media. If I WERE a celeb, I would be careful not to let that happen, but again, that's just how I would handle it....doesn't make it right or wrong, it's just me.

    By the way, your paragraph on War is Evil? I couldn't agree with you more!

   
Take Care,
Frank
