He outlined the injustices and death tolls that the United States has inflicted during its history, saying that the Sept. 11 attacks were a reaction to U.S. actions in the Middle East, including the deaths of more than 500,000 Iraqi children due to U.N. sanctions in the 1990s. "When you treat people this way, killing their babies ... naturally, what you are putting out will blow back on you, and that's what happened," he said.

I wonder what Professor 'Sitting B*llsh*t' has to say about oil for food, Sadam and the other crooks involved.

I have some firsthand experience with selecting guest speakers for the Forum series at UW-Eau Claire. I was there on Sept 11, 2001 to witness the outrageous speech by one Helen Caldicott, who told us Americans that it was out duty to physically storm the White house and bodilly throw President George Bush out of office.

Outraged, I got myself in a position to help choose future speakers. In this position, I contacted Ann Coulter. When she heard about our little experience with Caldicott, she agreed to come to UWEC to speak for the same fee we had paid Caldicott. (which ended up being about 1/4 of her usual speaking fee)

I took this offer to the full committee. Being 1 of 2 conservatives on the committee, the offer was voted down 5-2, with the notation that Coulter was too conservative for the Forum series.

We have to infiltrate these committees and boards and force them to at least be fair in their selection of speakers. I'm for open full honest debate, not censorship.

Maybe it is dubious, but 9 times out of 10 where does acedemia discriminate? So a certain pessimism eminates from me, hey I'm only human.
