Smalls,
My problem with that statement is it breeds a subserviant culture. It's the slippery slope idea, but in a slightly different manner. If they are doing it to him, then they are doing to many others. Some one has to call them on it. Some one has to stop it.
I can understand the fear of the blue wall. But doesn't some one have to stanmd up to the bully, before the bully is taken down.
If no one had of stood up to Saddam Hussein, we'd all be praying to Allah right now (not that there's anything wrong with that). (YES my tongue was pushing through my cheek on that last one.
