I used to be a peacenik. You know the kind. The one that wants to get along with everyone. The give-peace-a-chance kind. Also, the one that asks, "Can't we all just get along?" ala Rodney King.

So, I still kind of understand where actor Sean Penn's head is at when he goes to totalitarian led countries and hobnobs with psycho leaders. But I only kinda of get it.

In fact, I don't have much sympathy for Penn's "fact finding" tour in Iraq or his recent visit with Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. The whole enchilada tastes of sour milk.
