Whats up with you? I have a suggestion: if you don't like what Cary writes, don't read him! You don't like what he writes, but you keep reading him. Hmmm... you sound like a candidate for his advice column.

The Cuban "American" community. Now here is a community of peoiple that have taken their citizenship by fraud. They are not Americans, they are Cubans that are in America for their own convenience. Given the chance they would rush back to Cuba so fast it would make your head spin. The sad part for them is their children will never follow, so they would end their days alone. Maybe they should let go of Cuba for their own good.

And to Anonymous, who writes "Just because there are positive things about Cuba ... doesn't mean we shouldn't focus on the negative things so that they might change.", I suspect that you consider yourself a Christian. Maybe you should help remove the beam in Americas' eye before concerning yourself so much with the splinter in Cubas' eye. And that beam gets bigger every day. Sadly though, I have never met a Christian yet that actually believed what Christ taught.

from someone that makes a village idiot look like a genius?

From AP:

"In a second airstrike around the port city of Tyre, Israel accidentally killed a Lebanese soldier when it hit a car it believed was carrying a senior Hezbollah official, the Israeli army said.

The Israeli army sought to justify the action, saying the leader believed to have been in the car was a threat to Israel. Instead, the car carried a Lebanese army officer and soldiers. 'They were, of course, not the targets and we regret the incident,' the army said.'

By this logic Israel can kill anyone they want because there are people (somewhere, anywhere) that are a threat to Israel.

He stands there spouting the kind of nonsense you would expect from a village idiot. How can people listen to the vacuous garbage he spews without running screaming from the room?

What I get from this article is that no one has the right to control the borders of their country.

This is truly a toxic idea.

Do I have the right to move to South America, say the Amazon, consider myself as having just as much right to that area as the indigenous peoples, harvest their land for my profit and their destruction, and then move on to a more lucrative location and leave them behind to die? Why not, there is nothing in this article that would deny me that right.

In occupied Europe?

Kill a German soldier and the Nazi response was to kill scores and even hundreds of civilians, even bombing to distruction whole villages?

Just a legitimate question, if you don't have a good answer don't blame me.

America was once about rule of law, including things like 'innocent until proven guilty'. Today, with the freedoms once touted and enjoyed in this country ever more under threat, comments like yours play into the hands of those that want to destroy our freedom. Thanks for nothing.

continue to get coverage in Salon? At least call her what she is: Ann CultWhore.

The pictures accompaning this article and labeled "Simulation of a Boeing 757 colliding with the Pentagon's facade" are not in fact pictures of a simulation. For example, look at picture 3, where only the tail remains after the rest of the plane has collided with the building. At this point there should be large amounts of building damage caused when the front part of the plane interacted with the building, but in fact this picture doesn't show so much as a scratch or broken window on the building. This proported simulation is nothing more than cut-and-paste smaller and smaller parts of a plane image over the image of a building. A falsly labeled fabrication like this is a poor way to start an article taking others to task for inaccuracy.

If you really think "this story of three British Muslims who were captured in Afghanistan and held as suspected terrorists for more than two years at Gitmo makes Big Al's doomsday scenarios look like a Shirley Temple production number" then you, sir, are an ass.

"Oh, you mean the economy that siphoned off billions so Saddam could bribe his French and Russian toadies and build massive palaces for himself?"

So why is this a problem now? We have supported dozens of dictators that have done exactly this, and it wasn't a problem then.

"Or how about that wacky Islamic fundamentalist organization Ansar al-Islam (Zarqawi's outfit) that pretty much had the run of northern Iraq?"

I understand that 'northern Iraq" was the northern Kurdish safety zone where we denied Saddahm control.

"And, hey, what about those WMDs Saddam used against the Iranians during that war"

Did you know we gave logistical support, including placement advice, when he used these weapons against Iran? So now suddenly his attacks against Iran were bad?

"The water didn't run and the electricty was sporadic long before the Iraq war."

My understanding is that the first gulf war + sanctions were responsible for this, and we made it worse.

"what about those WMDs ... the ones the Duelfer Report said he was waiting to reconsitute once pansies like you took away the sanctions?"

So what it comes down to is, you are a fraddie cat because Saddahm wanted to get weapons.

Pathetic.

I can't wait until the FBIs' budget comes up for renewal. Maybe then they will learn the meaning of 'don't bite the hand that feeds you', but probably not.
