[plug] Linus approves bombing civilians in stupid war?

[Sol]

I'm on the NOWAR_Alliance mailing list, have been to three protests, and yet I 
still have to agree with Mark and Sham. Linus Torvalds should not become a 
political football. If he chooses to keep his views to himself regardless of 
what they may be, he has the right and privilege to do so. He's provided us 
all with a great gift and promoted a social movement which in my opinion is 
one of the most positive movements in this day and age. So let's not get down 
on him over things for which he has no control.
I understand your passion, but it would be better directed towards the like of 
John Howard who is failing in his responsibilities to his community, unlike 
Linus.

peace,
sol
