... And Thank Goodness Someone Is Standing Up For Their Views!
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles Times columnist who infuriated conservatives by writing that he does not support American troops fighting in Iraq -- and calling those who do "wusses" -- stood by the article on Tuesday.
Joel Stein said he has been "bombarded" by hate mail over the incendiary article -- which was headlined "Warriors and Wusses" and held that U.S. soldiers in Iraq were "ignoring their morality" -- but does not regret writing it and stands by the premise.
"I don't support what they are doing, and I don't the see point of putting a big yellow magnet on your car if you don't," Stein told Reuters in an interview. "I don't think (soldiers) are necessarily bad people. I do plenty of things that are wrong too. But I don't agree with what they are doing so I don't see the logic of supporting it."

It's a good article. Anyone who takes the time to read the text would understand in a minute what the author was talking about - he does not support having a war, and want's those fighting it to come home uninjured. Any antagonism he is experiencing is from the under-educated who never read his piece in the first place!
I agree - the powers that be have their supporters so blinded by hate and wrapped in the flag that they cannot see past the wuss word. They are convinced that dissent is collaboration, and that anyone different is someone to make war on. sick
