Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. Passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

Former employees of Blackwater say its owner, Eric Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith
A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company's owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life."
By the way, Brazil sells Super Tucano A29s to Blackwater (why Blackwater is buying them is a different question, not that it gives me great comfort), but doesn't sell them to Iraq and Afghanistan. Talk about stupid laws.
ReplyDeleteOddly Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly stupid too. America's power comes from its technological innovation. America's strenght comes from its values.
ReplyDeleteThe USSR collapsed because of stifled technological innovation and values.
