Funny how you created such a beautiful mix of names there. But you're wrong about at least one of them. Arya, I've read a lot of your comments about Iraq. You manage to duck out quite frequently when certain facts and questions are presented to you. Very few people can defend not going to war because they simply do not know enough about the region - they're "bandwagon fans". However, if it is in your view that war and violence are not acceptable, that that's a respectable position on its own.
How does everyone feel that groups like this get a ton of funding from outside sources? Outside sources could mean groups/charities/trusts/etc. with questionable ties from outside the US. Oh and I guarantee that a good chunk of their members are not US citizens as well - so at a public U.S. university, essentially whose views would be represented by such statements?
