While I can understand your feelings, this country was built on the sweat of foreigners who came here to be free. While I agree that Mick and gang were probably not being oppressed in the UK, they still should enjoy the same freedoms that we do.

I remember there was a Russian comedian who enjoyed some popularity in the 1980's, but his name escapes me. He did something in his routine that basically went like this:

"What's the big deal about American freedom of speech? So you can stand in the middle of Washington, DC and say 'The USA stinks!! President Reagan is an idiot!', and you won't be arrested. I can do the same thing in my country! I can stand in the middle of Moscow and say 'The USA stinks! President Reagan is an idiot!' and I won't be arrested there either."

That always put things in perspective for me, about the rights that we sometimes take for granted, and how we must defend them.
