#1 Some of us out here love America and respect what President Bush is doing. Just keep doing it, with more please.

And if you decide isolation is the solution, then I understand.

#2 How about it we kill them instead?

Would that help?

#3 Many years ago I was introduced to such people, for whom self-hatred has evolved into hatred of everyone who would treat them justly.

Of a radical leftist professor who was just a continual pest at a local university, it was even said in the student newspaper that "All he wants is once a year to be paraded around the campus while being scourged. Is that too much to ask?"

I took it as a joke until a year or so later, when the professor ceased being such a nuisance. It seems that he and his wife had joined a sado-masochistic master-slave club, and he had become one of their top "flogees".

And now, having an outlet, he no longer agitated for leftists causes around campus. It struck everyone that he looked a lot happier now.

#4 I doubt the rest of the world thinks much more of Oz than the US; and I'd be most of them think it's a compliment also.
