Dear James Gandolfini, You are a pathetic coward.

James Gandolfini, the actor who stars in "The Sopranos" showed us all today what an incredibly tough guy he is in an interview with "The Hill".

Bush should "reinstate the draft, send 500,000 troops and finish it." he said. "I'd go," ... "I'm too old and fat, but I'd drive a truck." he claimed. "The American people haven't had to sacrifice anything," he bloviated.

Well it's your lucky day Mr. Gandolfini, you actually can go! Just ask the grandmother who just got called up to serve. Go sign up tough guy, they will be happy to have you! You're not afraid to go are you? You're a real tough guy right?

You see buddy, that's the problem with you and your kind. You will happily send other people's kids to die in a war for "freedom" just so you can act like the tough guy you imagine yourself to be. Let me ask you, Mr. Tough Guy, have you ever held an Iraqi baby in your arms? Have you ever watched an Iraqi child bleed to death in his mother's arms as a result of your "collateral damage"?

Oh, you haven't? "That's war" you say. "The end justifies the means" you say. That's the problem with you. "You say the end justifies the means, but I tell you, the end is the means by which you achieve it." - Wilhelm Reich, Listen Little Man!

You are so quick to act like a tough guy and tell others to go kill these innocent women and children, but what do you say when you're asked to go fight? "Oh, I can't, I'm too fat and old, that's the only thing keeping me from going, honest!"

Of course, that's who you are. You ignore the fact Saddam was once our boy. We trained him as an assassin and put him in power in Iraq. But you don't take the time to acknowledge that truth. Why? Because that would require you to shatter you're false self-image of a "tough guy", a "great patriot". It would require you to look at yourself. You would prefer to force 500,000 human beings to go and fight and die in a war against an enemy we created than to look at yourself in the mirror.
