"We go to liberate not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their country," he said.
"We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Show respect for them.
This is symbolic but vital point. And I totally agree with the flag, which should not be planted in Iraq. After all, planting a flag is understood by most cultures as: "this is mine, I conquered this territory".
That's why I was surprised and saddened about the news of where one Iraqi port was taken, and US flag planted. Note, they don't mention a UK flag, even though the port was taken by both US and UK forces. Does it mean that UK soldiers are more sensitive?
As much as I support the US cause, planting a flag in this manner is just showing ignorance about regional issues. I just hope it won't bite US back in the future.
May free speech continue to live, in spite of the attempts of the far right to silence it, and the far left to exploit it.
Well said, and to the point. You're touching a whole array of problems in today's society with this one statement.
If I were to extend your point a little I would say: "may free speech and free thinking continue to live..." This is probably implied in your statement, but my point is: we should have well informed, free thinking (as opposed to brain washed), and allowed to express their opinions students.

The lens could lead to [...] smaller cell phones...
we're at a point when people with 20/20 vision have problems operating some of the smaller phones, and you want to make it even smaller?
So when will this miniaturization stop? Oh, I know! We'll use the new lens to help us out. That's 2 applications of one technology in one - amazing...
