One question for you, John.

Are you willing to go to Iran and protest against the Iranian nuclear program?

In the 1960's, a group of Methodist ministers asked their bishop for permission to go to Mississippi to march in Dr. King's civil rights protest march.

The bishop asked, "Do you just want to be identified with this movement, or do you want to get involved with this movement? If you want to get involved, I can call the bishop down in Mississippi and get you a church down there tomorrow. If you don't want to get involved, then you can't go."

So, John, I guess my question is the same. Do you and Jim Hannah want to go to Iran, where you can do some good, or do you just want to get arrested in a safe Western country with civil rights, so you can get your names in the paper?

The Western liberal elite would be more than willing to call Barney an abominable sinner and take him on, no holds barred, but they shy away from the idea of rounding up Tyrannosaurus Rex and stopping him from eating people. Heroic that isn't. Sick, yes. Heroic, no.

George
