Orson Scott Card on the war in Iraq
Ok, Card has me pissed off. I have enjoyed his books from Ender's Game through the 'hegemon' books, but his political leanings have left me a little more than a bit perplexed. I'm beginning to think he is to George Bush what Milton was to Oliver Cromwell, but that really is massively overstating any literary value to Orson Scott Card.

"By contrast, they see that when America invades and throws out the dictators, we really do provide an umbrella of security that allows the people of the countries we "conquer" to vote in elections and choose their own governments. We really do come as liberators. And they wonder, some of them at least, what they can do to get the Americans to invade them."
Here is a complimentary blog response to Card's diatribes against liberals living in what he calls "Smartland":
