Under the Microscope: Ted Turner Ponders Which Side to Take

Ted Turner at the National Press Club

Turner: You know this-this, there are a lot of things about this war that disturbed me and one of 'em is, uh... uh, one of 'em is that you know that was well expressed by our President, and he said it very clearly. He said, "Either you're with us or you're against us." And I had a problem with that because I really hadn't made my mind up yet. You know, what if you haven't made your mind up? You know, what if you're thinkin' about it, doin' some studyin', doin' some readin', because it's (an) important decision whether to go to war or not. I mean you're either with us or against us, that's pretty black and white.

Yet again we see this attitude of moral equivalence between cold-blooded terrorists and the United States. It's been so deeply ingrained in elite and hollywood liberals in this country that the United States is an oppressor that they are incapable of coming to the conclusion that the United States could ever be a victim. You know, Ted Turner, sometimes things just are pretty black and white.

Let's humor his difficulty choosing sides. Are Osama bin Laden's greivances sufficient to warrant the mass murder of civilians? Does the basing of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, at their request, justify the mass murder of 9/11? Let's compare the two...

The Towers Collapse


Where is the moral equivalence?
