[quote=Anonymous]The rhetorical diversions in this thread are worthy of any career politician.  A specific issue - freedom of speech - was the topic at hand.  That has morphed into a tit for tat over who has it worse on the historical geopolitical stage.  Not to mention historical revisionism.  There was in fact quite an uproar - for many years - both in the US and in Europe over foreign policy and military decisions in the aftermath of 9/11. There were mass protests against George W. Bush in cities all over the country.  None of these specific actions by specific countries - on either side of the conflict - bear any weight over the argument of whether political speech should be free and unfettered.  In fact, if you are going to border into apologia for the idea that some speech is inappropriate, then you in fact are engaging in hypocrisy while you exercise your own right to free speech.  If you believe in free speech, then you have to condone it from everyone, or you cannot claim it for yourself.[/quote]
