Any guy that can stand on a podium directly after 09/11 and damn the US for it's plans to rectify the situation, is so far out there they don't have a zip-code for his location.

Gere called for peace at that concert, but I don't recollect him damning the U.S. Did he?

Any guy who damns plans to respond, is blaming the entity that devised those plans as well. I don't remember the exact words Gere used. Samanticly, you may be correct. I believe that is a hollow victory. ;)

You might like to check out my comments a few posts above his one. They're somewhat long.
