You have the right to speak your opinions. I, however, have the equally important right to ignore the views of someone who hails from a country that, in spite of its claims to neutrality, gave comfort and assistance to the Nazis during WWII and in the years following the end of the war.

When it is YOUR country that is bombed, when it is YOUR buildings that are attacked by terrorists, when it is YOUR people who are killed by maniacal terrorists just for BEING Americans, when all of those things happen, then you can come to me with your opinion about the war, and then I may listen. Until such time , however, you are just another one of the misinformed cadres of ungrateful American-haters.

I've had a bellyful of all the whining, hand-wringing and self-important criticism coming from people who have no right to judge America or America's actions. America has made the world safe for countries like Switzerland, so you can go on being the "bankers" to the world's terrorists and narco-dealers (and so you can continue to peddle that tasteless crud you call Swiss chocolate). If you are not going to support us, that's fine, but at least have the decency to get out of the way and stop interfering. If you are not tough enough or man enough to do what needs to be done, then let those who are do their job and stop criticizing.

To all of you who call President Bush a greater threat to world peace than Husseim I ask you the following question: under whose government would you rather live: the U.S. or Iraq? Think about it.

The anti-war protesters showed their true colors over the weekend in a small town just south of Los Angeles. There, "peace" demonstrators burned American flags and tore up hand-made posters that had been set up as a memorial to the victims of 9-11 (Manu, in case you've forgotten that was the day when terrorists, who probably keep their money in Switzerland, killed over 3,000 innocent American CIVILIANS, along with a few other people from other countries). The memorial had nothing to do with the impending war, it was just American flags, flowers and other items honoring the victims of 9-11. These so-called peace demonstrators burned the US flags and kicked the memorial to pieces. These peace demonstrators are not interested in finding a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Iraq, all they want to do is vent their anti- America hatred.

Everyday of my life I thank God for America and the American people for giving a home, and a second opportunity, to a refugee from a Communist country. For the life of me, I cannot understand where all of you ungrateful complainers get off thinking that you have a right to criticize what you obviously do not understand.

Maybe it is time to revive that old saying: "America, love it or leave it..." and while you are at it, please take Alec Baldwin and his friends along with you.

OK, I'll step down from my soapbox now.
