Ben Stein Turned Idiot

Ben Stein, who once seemed to have some good common sense, has taken a sharp turn for the worse. I saw him on tv a few weeks back and he was advocating raising taxes. Now, he says that Iraq is better off with Saddam. I don't think the people of Iraq (well, perhaps with the exception of the small Sunni minority) would agree with that. I also don't think it was good to have a country developing a nuclear weapon (which the NY Times just admitted a couple weeks ago) or having a country openly training thousands of terrorists (as shown by documents uncovered earlier this year). Unfortuanately, Ben Stein has turned into the typical Hollywood star (except of course, that he's not quite a star...)
