Why are we surprised?
Reader comment on item: Harvard Loves Jihad
Submitted by Proudly (United States), Jun 12, 2002 at 02:29
Funny that Harvard's motto ... is VERITAS. The last thing Harvard cares for is truth. Rather, what SOUNDS RIGHT is much, much better.As Mr. Hess mentions, I wonder myself if I would be able to put up with the OPRAH GROUP HUG that was this speech. In the middle of a WAR no less. That such an esteemed institution would actively encourage this near treasonous talk before thousands is truly appalling.
In regard to terrorism, it seems more and more that the enemy is "us."
