Yes, that mainstay of English teachers (actually literature teachers, but they are not smart enough to know the difference), Kurt Vonnegut has decided that his hate for Bush is so great, that the Terrorists must be good people!

"They are dying for their own self-respect," he said. "It's a terrible thing to deprive someone of their self-respect. It's like your culture is nothing, your race is nothing, you're nothing."

You see how silly and stupid he is?  Dying for self respect can be noble.  Taking out a bunch of innocent women and children has nothing to do with your self respect or cause!  It is purely and simply evil.  Yes, Virginia, evil does exist. 

Vonnegut goes on to proclaim them heros:

 "I regard them as very brave people, yes."

Now you can see why he is completely off his rocker.  A brave person faces a formidable foe.  Blowing yourself up among a bunch of unarmed civilians is not bravery, it is the extreme in cowardice!

But I know I am going to be slammed for this article.  For you see, Vonnegut is a WWII veteran.  So by the law of the left, one can never speak ill about a decorated hero that has gone over to the left side (Oliver North is fine as he did not stray to the left).

This is just pure and unadulterated hate by the loons of the left!  Vonnegut is an over rated author, who cant tell a decent story anyway (he has to make each one a statement, which tends to get in the way of a good story).  Now he has decided that any thing is justified as long as you have hate.

The only difference between him and the suicide bombers is that they at least only perform their hatred once.  Vonnegut is not even that brave (as he would call it), so he cowers behind his hatred secretly (not so any more) egging on those who share his hatred.  Regardless of the collateral damage.
