BRITISH WRITER MARTIN AMIS AND SUPPORTING BOMBERS

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY MICHAEL WHITE IN THE GUARDIAN

Amis is a boring ass, but with this he goes even further down in my consideration.

I've heard him interviewed at length a couple of times, and I fail to understand why he has much of a position as a writer. He really has little to say that is interesting or incisive.

This disingenuous question is the kind of thing that people like Goebbels were fond of. It's a journalist's cheap question: Why do you beat your wife?

Criticizing the gigantic insanity of the 'war on terror,' the invasion of Iraq, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the chimpanzee-brain in the White House has nothing to do with supporting bombers.

It's not supporting bombers, it's opposing state tyranny and repression and murder.

It's called standing up to the ugly mob to defend basic freedoms and decency.
