Au contraire, tiamat....HE is most definitely a....well, SHE!

Here is more communist islamofascist sentiment from that UCLA twit, (from her column):

"By Rosamund de Sybel DAILY BRUIN COLUMNIST-- Had I been at home in England last week, I would have joined the thousands lining the streets of London protesting the unwelcome visit of George W. Bush. His three-day State visit, during which he pledged to finish the job in Iraq, was accompanied by passionate anti-war demonstrations that included the symbolic destruction of a giant papier-mâché effigy of the president in Trafalgar Square. For many British people, Bush is a hated public figure. He is seen as both a war criminal and an unelected, illegally ruling despot. According to a Populus/Times poll last week, 60 percent of British voters believe the close personal relationship between Prime Minister Tony Blair and Bush is bad for Britain. The mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, supported the protest, calling Bush "the greatest threat to life on this planet." Dubbed "George Dubya" by the British media, his name has become a resounding public epithet that denotes fear, distrust and ridicule. The high level of anti-Bush sentiment may come as a surprise to some Americans who have watched the British loyally play their role as the 51st state. British forces in Iraq make up the second largest in the coalition after the United States'. Yet last week's protests were aimed as much toward Bush's administration as they were to his staunchest ally and arch-acolyte, Blair. British protesters now call the prime minister "Tony B liar." Like "Dubya," the name captures the public's distrust of a government that relies on spin-doctoring and spectral evidence to justify their foreign policy. The protests against Bush and Blair stem from a plethora of reasons – it is not merely a show of old Europe anti-Americanism. Protesters are angry with the chaotic occupation of Iraq, Bush's disregard for the United Nations, fears over American-enforced regime changes, the treatment of political prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, the collapse of the Middle East peace road map and the controversial American tariffs on imported steel, as well as the larger concerns brought up by environmentalists and anti-capitalists. Many also believe that last Thursday's bombings in Istanbul that claimed the lives of 27 people were a direct result of the U.S.-British policy in Iraq, which they believe has served as a catalyst for terrorist attacks. But British protesters are primarily enraged because our leaders don't listen to us. For example, on Feb. 15, over a million of us demonstrated against the war in London. Yet despite the overwhelming show of anti-war feeling on both sides of the Atlantic, our leaders led us into a war that many of us neither wanted nor agreed with. Now protesters voice their anger over the disastrous consequences that have followed the invasion, conquest and occupation of Iraq. In a letter published in The Guardian on Nov. 18, the playwright Harold Pinter vehemently articulated the popular sentiment generated by Bush's visit: "Dear President Bush, I'm sure you'll be having a nice little tea party with your fellow war criminal Tony Blair. Please wash the cucumber sandwiches down with a glass of blood, with my compliments." As Pinter illustrates, the British electorate is experiencing an extraordinary level of alienation and disenchantment with the political process. "

Ahem!: rdesybel@media.ucla.edu

PS Ms. Sybel is a foreigner here on a student visa, at UCLA, an invited guest of the People United States of America, openly bad mouthing our system, our government and our leaders. She ought to be deported for this, IMHO. You keep your mouth SHUT as a foreign student in other people's countries, particularly during a state of war in your host country.
