Just Plain Spoken

Mark Eby — 4/20/2003 9:40:12 AM (archived)

No insult intended Raoul. Just intended to show strong disagreement. Don't really feel much inclined to mince words on these issues. Despite my disagreements with Bush on many other issues I find a lot of the stuff hurled at him with regard to the war to be hogwash. One of the things that really gets my goat is unfair and/or hypocritical political attacks. It's what irks me so much about France's stance. You personally are an example of a war opponant who's opinions and comments I find far more interesting than what anyone in hollywood has to say.

I don't think hollywood types have ever shown an open mind and the replays of their way off comments played over and over on Fox and MSNBC show how little their predictions and beliefs were based on reality. I find your claim of open mindedness to be preposterous ie nonsense. Do you think open minded evaluations typically result in predictions which prove far off the mark?

You should note regarding your previous comments on France's economic interests that Chirac's tune has changed quite a bit since he found out American public opinion can have as much economic impact as a dictators choice of contracts.

Regards,
Mark
