Sean Penn: The apple falls close to the rotten tree

Just read an article http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54887#about Sean Penn's statement a few days ago comparing the U.S. with Iran in terms of both being morally equivalent 'evil empires'. Turns out his Dad did something wierdly similar in 1939 (and he was Jewish) saying Hitler/Germany was no different than FDR and U.S. society and defending the Nazi's - since at that time Germany had signed a mutual defense pact with the USSR and Leo Penn was a very committed Communist, supporter of all things Commie. Yeah, many forget that Stalin helped build Hitler's air force in Russia in the 30's as they orginally planned to be war buddies and conquer the free world. Hmmm. Today we have radical Islamofacists who have written, screamed, videotaped the same message. As 9/11 survivor Earl Johnson, author of "Stairway to Heaven" his homage to the firefighters who were ascending the stairway of the North Tower of the Twin Towers as Mr. Johnson was escaping said on the UW campus last week, "Have the terrorists who murdered over 3,000 people on 9/11 given up?" What is your answer?
