Chris Satullo writes for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and in yesterday's newspaper, he penned one of the most vile, hate-filled diatribes against this country I have ever seen published in a major newspaper: http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/20080701_Chris_Satullo__A_not-so-glorious_Fourth.html. Every word drips with venom towards this country, what it stands for and the troops representing it. It's something which I would fully expect to see on The Daily Kos or The Huffington Post, not in a supposedly "mainstream" newspaper.
That the Inquirer chose to publish this piece has made me re-think my subscription to the paper, to the point where for the first time, I am going to send an e-mail to the publisher about this piece of trash masquerading as a column.

His beaten attitude and self-loathing aside, he makes a number of points, put in a more measured and scholarly way in http://www.commondreams.org/views05/1217-30.htm
