This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

E-Lies

Unix, Music, and Politics ... What was I thinking?:

This is an email that has been circulating around the freeper crowd. Jim at UM&P has the entire email posted at his site. Its a fascinating insight into the mind of the right wing fanatics.

"These 2 liberal actors have sided with Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden and against our own country, as demonstrated by Penn's going to Iraq prior to the war in protest of our pending attack to remove the terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein, saying that we have no right to attack innocent people and that it was the Bush administration that is starting this war. Let us not forget 9/11/2001. "


Two errors of thinking in this little snippet. First, Penn and Robbins did not oppose the war out of support of Saddam and Osama. They opposed the war for the same reason I did, it was a bad idea, executed poorly. Secondly, Saddam and Iraq were not responsible for 9/11. There are some tenuous links but not strong ones. There is however very strong links between Al Queda and 9/11. That group breathed a sigh of relief when we attacked Iraq, when we effectively reduced the amount of troops and effort spent chasing them down.

By all means, if you don't want to support this movie then you have that right, but please don't do so because you believe these lies.
