what I mean is that it's best to learn something about what you're talking about before you say something. Now, it's okay for "average people" to violate this rule, but if someone is a public figure (like SS) whose words have special weight, then it's best to be mum -- and then study the issue. If I say something stupid (as I do sometimes, perhaps once a day) it doesn't matter. But if SS does, people listen.
By the way, does anyone know what the pro-Zionists have against Sudan? is it simply a matter of wanting the US to be the world police? (kinda like Team America of the film of the same name.)
