Reply #4: Oh, finally, an original sentiment!

Some, if not all, of what this woman writes is borderline obscene, and reads like something you would see in editorials in the 1950s.

That much of the world is jealous of America and enjoys defaming our great republic and our democratic way of life is to be expected, but why should our own people turn against their own country?

Is the rest of the world jealous, or is America arrogant?

Surely, these media people and politicians realized that it is an obscene travesty to compare what occurred in Abu Ghraib to the horrific evils perpetrated during Hussein's despotic regime. The inmates at Abu Ghraib are not Boy Scouts. They are not innocent civilians, but include vicious killers who made a career out of torture. This is not to say that there is any justification for what transpired at Abu Ghraib, but at the same time, let us not forget that we are at war and those Abu Ghraib prisoners are a threat to the civilized world.

Prove it. In fact, I defy her to prove anything she just said.

These savage terrorists succeeded in overturning the government in Spain. The question is, Will we allow them to succeed in the United States as well? This is a time for all those who believe in America, who cherish freedom and democracy, to rally around our armed forces, our government and our flag.

Utter nonsense. This woman has just made an argument against democracy. "If you believe in freedom and democracy, don't try to change anything. If you do, the terrorists win."


This, by the way, is Esther Jungreis.
