Dean's World

Well, it looks like the Bush Administration is at least doing something.

My personal preference would be to send a few tanks to roll over Bashir's face. But you know me, I'm a hopeless romantic...

A very tiny handful of commenters have been banned from Dean's World. One of them--a generally smart and thoughtful guy, actually--recently had some questions for me, related to an earlier thread on Sudan (linked below). If you're interested in the politics of this, you can read this thread. If you're not interested, then don't.

I do say that while I admit to being a sinner--I occasionally have a bad temper and completely lose my cool and need to get better about that--I'm really sick of people whining that you can get banned from this place just for saying one wrong thing. I'm also sick of the notion that any time I get angry, it's me being irrational and whoever I got mad at being just a victim.

You know, this isn't a professional publication. It's a human publication. It's me and my friends, and none of us are getting rich on this thing despite the strange number of readers we have. We get out of it whatever we get out of it, and money is rarely that.

And by the way, I still want to send a few legions into Sudan, and I'm sickened by our fear of doing so.
