> Iraqi Olympic Soccer Team Gives Bush the Boot

23 August 2004, 18:10

The primary emphasis in this article is that it is wrong of Bush to politicize the Iraq soccer team’s success in his bid for President. ANd it is, no question about that. Unfortunately you seem to do what the Republican National Committee does in almost every case, ignore the primary charge, and deflect to some emotional issue in order avoid answering the charge.

But at least Bush supporters are consistent. They recognize free speech as part of the Constitutional rights we enjoy, they just denigrate those brave enough to speak their minds.

Conratulations to all the athletes from Iraq for their efforts. THe quagmire of the Iraqi war affects us all, but they have had a respite from the violence in their country. Let them enjoy it, and realize that Bush is only the US President, not the arbiter of all that is "good" in the world.
