"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'
Update: The next morning the local rag greeted the carrier with a frontpage photo and a ... hearty "welcome to a friend and ally"?? Nope - a lovely expression of GREED!
We were listening to BBC World last night and they reported on some American leader in Iraq who was allegedly 'trigger happy' in defending himself and his turf. I am not sure what the suicide bomb equivalent of 'trigger happy' is but, whatever it is, no one was accused of being so on the program.
Our force: Bad. Their force: Good. Gotta love the MSM
Surprisingly, there's not been much in the way of organized protest of visiting warships in the last few years - just letters to the editor from the odd pacifist or environmentalist protesting the presence of a nuclear powered ship.
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis
