I'm Actually Conflicted About ThisMichelle Malkin points to this story today about the owner of a pizzeria in Denmark:
This website is collecting pledges for the restaurant owner since he has now lost his business. I understand why all sorts of pro-war people are jumping on this story, and supporting someone who is supporting us. But I wonder... what if this were... oh... let's say Alabama and this man had posted signs barring black people from his restaurant. Would you pledge money then? Not only that, what does it say about us that we think it's acceptable to hold an entire population accountable for the decisions of that population's government. Isn't that something we complain about when the French or German's say they hate all Americans? Just a thought.
