Oooh -- I like being lovely.  And not offended!  :)

And don't worry about the power of the American right, because it's 
really pretty much counterbalanced by the power of the American left.

Censorship isn't a "right wing" thing, either -- anyone can do it.
Political correctness is just censorship from the left.
Every time there's been a case of a whole run of some college 
newspaper being stolen and burned, it's been because there was 
something "too conservative" printed in it.
And when a "controversial" speaker is shouted down in some 
auditorium, it's probably because some left-wing people don't think 
the speaker should be heard.

So it happens on both sides.

Aside to Cindy C.: Apparently the weapons of mass destruction found 
so far have been bullets and acid baths -- which killed millions of 
Iraqis.  That's not any better than killing lots of Israelis or 
Americans or Australians -- what difference does it make what 
country they're from?

'Course, I realise stopping a tyrant is one thing.

Achieving a country where people can live in peace is another thing 
altogether.
