Subject: RE: BS: The statue took a nose dive (literally!)
No one was denying he was a bad guy, but you're all stupid for being moved by several people being glad that his regime is toppling...

Whether it was 500 or 5 million, what I saw was a group of people tasting some freedom for the first time in 30 years and whether or not you like it, it moves me. Small slice or not, that was genuine.

"Don't get carried away by that man beside the fallen statue. He is the manifestation of wishful thinking, but it's not "real." It's "reel.""

I see. I cannot be moved by some genuine human drama. So does that mean I cannot be moved by the sacrifice made by "Mohammad", the man who risked his life to save the life of PFC Lynch? Was he a product of wishful thinking?

Nice touch of drama about throwing the flag down, Lepus, but he didn't throw it down. He stowed it on his gear. Big difference.
