Jack the Sailor: and there is nothing smug or hypocritical about your statement about conservatives, right?

And I, for one, would be interested in your elaborating on your remarks about how Mr. Clinton was dealing with Saddam. It seems to me he did his best to avoid dealing with him the eight years he was in office. If he had, perhaps we wouldn't be facing the situation we are now.

As to the Dixie Chicken, she obviously had a right to say what she said. The people in American have a right to treat her disrespect any way they choose. They can boycott their performances if they don't like what she said, or those who applaud her can buy more tickets. Same for there CDs.
