| "I never stay outside for `God Bless America,'" Delgado said. "I actually don't think people have noticed it. I don't (stand) because I don't believe it's right, I don't believe in the war." "It's a very terrible thing that happened on September 11,” he said. “It's (also) a terrible thing that happened in Afghanistan and Iraq. I just feel so sad for the families that lost relatives and loved ones in the war. But I think it's the stupidest war ever. Who are you fighting against? You're just getting ambushed now. We have more people dead now, after the war, than during the war. You've been looking for weapons of mass destruction. Where are they at? You've been looking for over a year. Can't find them. I don't support that. I don't support what they do. I think it's just stupid." “Sometimes, you've just got to break the mold. You've got to push it a little bit or else you can't get anything done." . He sees the people of Vieques as another casualty in the war on Iraq, the guinea pigs for the weapons that have wreaked havoc throughout the Persian Gulf. "You're dealing with health, with poverty, with the roots of an entire community, both economically and environmentally," Delgado has said. "This is way bigger than just a political or military issue. Because the military left last year and they haven't cleaned the place up yet. The catalytic event for his activism was when a Vieques man, David Sanes, was the casualty of an errant bomb on April 19, 1999. Delgado wanted to act so his father hooked him up with ‘an old Socialist Party pal’ named Ismael Guadalupe. The high school teacher, “a leading figure in the island's protest movement”, had spent six months in prison in 1979 for protesting on “Navy property” in Vieques. "He wanted to help out with more than just the situation with the Navy," Guadalupe, 59, said of Delgado. "He wanted to help the people there. He wanted to help the children." Delgado didn't fear reprisals for his newspaper ads critical of the Navy in April of 2001. "What are they going to do, kick me out of the game? Take away my endorsements?" |

| So, Delgado acknowledges being closely associated with a Socialist? That's bold.

| You b@stard. You choose now, the last time I'll log on all weekend as I'm off getting married to start a thread like this? Dammit. I'm thinking of calling it off and staying home now.
