US Appeal Court (and ZDNet) accomplices
US Appeal Court (and most of ZDNet readers and writers) appear to be objective accomplices of the Nazi-like attempts against freedom (and therefore honesty) of speech, in USA, in France and elsewhere.

Of course it is absolutely impossible that those defending the US and Europe courts in that Yahoo vs Nazis affair could be sincere: it is too obvious, even for the dumbest, that:

1) Freedom to speak is freedom for anyone, even any "hate speech" - or it would be at once too easy for a government to forbid anyone to speak (would suffice to dub his words "hate speech"), just like Hitler did (along with plenty other dictators in History);

2) No particular group has rights to impose laws over other groups:

- in a given country, nothing can be imposed unless by a law voted by the entire people;
- in international realm, nothing can be imposed unless by an equivalent (like UN resolutions).

In particular:

- to impose something onto an US company (like Yahoo) requires, either an US law, or an international one (hence US-approved);
- to impose something (a fortiori a war) onto another people and country requires, either agreement from this country (directly by its duly voted authorities, or through an international agreement or organization which that country approved), or war declaration approved by the people starting the war. In the Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq cases, the recent US wars were obviously and totally unjustified, whether on the political, law, human, or ethical POVs.
