I guess I wouldnt really mind a million Mogadishus world wide.

I believe it would be a fair trade to lose 18 million American lives in order to kill 1 billion+ of our enemies.

That would be sufficent to kill off most of the Muslim population, or most of the Chinese population, or most of the European population.

I would propse a 33%/34%/33% split.

The guy is an idiot.
I am against this war, but I hate the protesters and sloganeers. Most of them are lame and retarded, and attention whores.

The professor has the right to say whatever he wants. I have the right to decide that he is an a$$. I also have the privilege of sending an email to him (thanks Dahunan!) telling him what I think of his views. :)

Hmm...while I'm at it, does anyone have Michael Moore's number?

Riiighhhtttt. Yay for genocide, eh? Yes, let's wipe out civilians of nations whose foreign policies are ultimately directed by their govts. Because a Muslim is a Muslim, a Chinese is a Chinese, a European is a European, and an enemy is an enemy? I suppose you're twiddling your thumbs hoping WWIII will come around soon so you can watch it unfold on TV.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and just assume you enjoy posting offensive comments.

I certainly don't condone what he said and think it's downright treasonous but death threats are an unacceptable form of retaliation.

Get the guy fired or bring him up on charges of treason.



Some students defended the professor. About two dozen of his students took part in a silent protest on Tuesday, as they sat quietly outside in the rain to show their support of De Genova and their displeasure with the university?s handling of the matter.

Boy that'll show the UNI - "I'm gonna sit my dumb ass out in the rain...Yeah that'll show em" :p

Oh and BTW- according to the article the UNI hasn't done squat about the situation so why are these kids protesting? do they think action should be taken?;):p

Interesting on how this professor just signed himself up for alot of pr0n related emails and things alike :D

Treason is bit too extreme, while he does have the right to voice his opinion. IT is NOT his job to teach his students these kind of idiotic things.

I think the current anti-war protesters should take a cue from those Monks across the pond - Setting themselves on fire to protest the war.

I think that'd kill two idiots with one stone. So to speak.

I was going to reply, but it's really not worth it.

I should clarify - I am in no way implying that those that did that in the past were idiots. They had legitimate reasons for their protests and were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to bring attention to the cause.

Today's protesters, on the other hand...blah. I think you know where I'm going with it.

Would hoping that he get's run over by a bus be acceptable? ;)
