Eric, why is it sick? I was making fun of the intelligence of the man who made the decision to send soldiers to these places. It's awful that so many innocents have died and so many soldiers have died and that the war strategy was flawed. The only person I'm making fun of is George Bush, the president of my country, a country where it's okay to make fun of the leader, the American identity, and my fellow countrymen.
Keeping things in perspective, life could be a lot worse. I could live in a country where it is an insult to criticize the national identity, the leader, or my countrymen. I could be tried and put on trial for saying such things. Perhaps I would inadvertently anger a lot of people, a lot of people who would want to harm me. I might be even murdered simply for voicing my thoughts.
Now that would certainly be sick.
