Reagan was "palling around" with Thatcher who was "palling around" with Pinochet, who killed thousands of people in the political opposition in Chile but Reagan and Thatcher are still heroes for conservatives... If you're going to be anti-dictatorship and anti-terrorism, you should be it across the board - not only when it doesn't occur on your end of the political spectrum. And don't get so bloody upset about Obama smiling at Chavez....if he invites him over for a tea party at the White House (like Reagan did with Thatcher) then there might be a reason for concern... /Jimmy G. > Leesa, > > And what's you're opinion of Bill Ayers, Rev.
