Christiane - or should I call you by your Free Republic name, War Slut - I learned all I need to know abut islam on September 11th, 2001!
I just heard Amanpour on the radio last night on ABC news speaking about the poor, misunderstood state of North Korea who its only firing missiles because its "back is to the wall." Why it was all I could do to hold back my tears for the poor, misunderstood Kim Jong-Il who has been forced to let millions of his people eat tree bark and grass because of the nasty West. (sniff, sniff, sob)
Seriously, it would be hard to find a more naive sympathizer of evil than Ms. Amanpour. In her mind aggressive, dictatorial states are never responsible for their actions. It's the awful west, you know, that makes them do those evil things. (smirk)
