This is rather far-fetched. While I think Bush' current nuclear
plans are immoral, stupid, and counter-productive, I am not
in the least afraid that the opinion of the American public
will be swayed by the Enola Gay exhibition. We are not
talking about the latest Coca-Cola commercial, this is an
aeroplane on display in (yuck) a museum.


You almost threw me there Emmanuel!

In reading your defense of the American use of the atomic bomb, and
the refutation of some of the lefties claims of the evil nature of
American leadership (over the entire history of the nation), I thought
perhaps you weren't quite the anti-American ideologue I'd pegged you as.

For a moment I thought you were actually standing up in defense of
the American public. You know, basic goodness and common sense that
over time, keeps the country on track.

But alas, they are in reality the dimwits that intellectual Euros
(and lefty Americans) stereotype them as. Oblivious of history, and
concerned only with the next deal at Costco.

Thank you for not disappointing me.
