[Vision2020] Donovan: Liar, Idiot, or both?

Sun Sep 17 10:59:46 PDT 2006

And now Sunil resorts to calling names and accusing people of character
assassination just because they are of the opinion that he is supportative
of those who wish to do harm to our country.  Sounds a little paranoid to
me.
Perhaps some of us have scratched a little too close to the core of his real
personality for comfort.

Sunil expects everyone to agree with him on the definition of torture and
what constitutes terrorist acts.  I do not agree with him that our country
has tortured anyone accused of terrorism.

Sunil believes the terrorists are above the rules of the Geneva Conventions
but, for some strange reason, we should afford those protections to them.
These terrorists are not directly affiliated with any nation with which we
have Geneva Convention obligations too.  They operate independently of any
nation, giving them freedom to ignore treaties and rules of engagement.  To
insist we have to treat them under the Geneva Convention rules is ludicrous!

Sunil is perfectly free to express his support for these terrorists but he
does not have the power to dictate what I, or others, believe about these
people.  Perhaps he should spend more time criticising those who cut off
heads of people with whom they disagree, or burn churches and murder
innocents in retalition for cartoons they dislike or statements by the Pope
they don't agree with.  I, for one, am sick of hearing all the wailing and
bitching from the Muslim world everytime they feel shunned in some way.
They need to grow up and join the 21st century.  Perhaps they were never
taught the "Sticks and stones" story.

Bottom line is, in my post I stated clearly that it was my opinion that
Sunil was supportive of those who wished to bring grave harm to our nation.
I have a right to that opinion, just as he has to his opinions.  To accuse
me of character assassination because of my opinion only reveals Sunil's
true feelings further.  He feels that anyone who is of a different opinion
from him shouldn't express their own thoughts.  Sounds a lot like the
murders he appears to support.

Kiss off Sunil.  I am sick and tired of your crying and bitching.  Your "You
are picking on me." attitude and your name calling.  You try to present
yourself as a reasonable person but only bury yourself deeper with each
post.  We are all just as entitled to our opinions as you are so just get
over it.
