    Hypocritical?

    Hmmm,
    I remember when the United States used napalm and killed thousands of people in Iraq.

    If you think hypocrisy is delicious, have a serving of humility and a sip of owing up to dumb statements.

    Bon apppetit.

    You're right...it is a few hundred of thousand by now! Thanks for catching that!

    Sara, the US hasn't used napalm since Vietnam.

    Napalm has killed no one in Iraq.

    The late Seduam (sp?) Insane used nerve gas to kill a bunch of innocent Kurdish people that live or did live in northern Iraq.

    Sorry LH...I was being a smart aleck. I have no idea what R was talking about so I made a smart response.

    I am sure I have been wrong about some things. I doubt...sorry I know...there is no one who gets into these passionate and political discussions who has not been wrong about some fact or other or maybe even a bunch of them. Again...including me. (and you)

    But what I hope I have never been is a hypocrite. I hope I have not espoused one set of rules for one group of people and a different set of rules for another. Based on how I feel about those people.

    I do not express my opinion on some rather personal things - even things about which I have very strong opinions. Those opinions are for my family. And my close friends.

    But I cannot but help enjoy...when people who have been very vocal in judging all too human behavior find themselves on the other side now defending the same behavior.

    I try very hard (and I am sure I do not always succeed!) not to get on a high horse about how others live their life. I do not care who someone sleeps with - if it is not me, my husband or a child - it is not my business to judge (okay...except for a little delicious gossip with my girlfriends!)

    So when pontificators get tripped up...well sorry...it is a bit fun!

    On a side note......


    Would someone please explain to me how peace protests inevitably turn violent?

    Hypocracy anyone?

    I loved the peace protesters on Iceland.....

    They came to our field site after breakfast, walked around with signs for about 2 hours, broke for a picnic lunch for 1 1/2-2 hours, then protested again for about 2 hours, and went home for dinner.

    They even had pleasant chats with our gate guards.
