What the hell is wrong with calling people Sir?

Would you call Milosevic or Polpot "Sir" if you're interviewing them?
That's why people would have an issue with Kissenger. [/b][/quote]
The New York Times gives anyone the proper prefix of Mr and Mrs, no matter who they are ( so they always say Mr. Hussein for example ). Saying "Sir" is pretty much the same, it just gives a sense of gentlemanly respect, even if you're not the biggest fan.
