NBA brawl connected with war in Iraq?

Man, this is the most atrocious connection ever heard. Even Bush would not have been able to come up with this. Anyway, I'm sure all of you must have seen or heard about the brawl in the NBA game last Friday. And, I'm also sure most of you would have heard that Ron Artest has now been suspended for the rest of the season. Well, obviously the follow-up to all this is going to be Artest's justification for what he did so that his period of suspension is reduced (after all, the suspension is without pay!!). And, you guys aren't going to believe this but he has gone on record saying that the main reason for what he did is the war in Iraq. I think making any comments on this would be ridiculous. So, go read the interview for yourself. Here's the link to the transcript of the interview:
