Unbiased NYT Reporter gives commencement speach, booed off stage

[Ned]

Orange, the speech was great - in parts. It would have been better if he warned us against "empire" instead of just assuming that that was what we were doing in Iraq.

not if his opinion was that that's what's going on in Iraq...no?

[Ned]

I think it far to soon to tell what is going on in Iraq. He could have warned us against the evils of unwelcome occupation without saying that that was what our intentions were. Had he adopted that approach, his speach may have been very well received as it got into the "dark side of the force" type arguments that are really intriquing.

not appropriate for commencement, but otherwise an awesome speech

I agree.

Great speech, wrong circumstances.
