Joel Stein is a columnist for the L.A. Times. On Tuesday he wrote an op-ed piece entitle Warriors and wusses were he states, 'I don't support the troops'. Fair enough. He doesn't have to support the troops or agree with this war in Iraq. This is America. Political dissent and free speech are protected rights.
Mr. Stein further opines, 'But blaming the president is a little too easy. The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying.'
I'm sure fascist dictators the likes of Saddam Hussien would have appreciated his comments and defended his right to say that in old Iraq. Yeah, right.
Joel Stein is slime. I don't respect him, but I sure respect his right to be slime.
