Trying to understand Afghanistan
By PETER BOLTZ - Express Staff WriterAt first, it seemed a recent forum held at the Community School was misnamed.
People were interested in hearing about Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden, but the forum was called "A World in Conflict, An Evening of Understanding." ...
The authorities asked to speak and answer questions were Tony Mabbatt, Ted Bilkey and Ted Curran. ...
Bilkey is a retired shipping executive who has lived in Iran, Bahrain and other Muslim countries.
Bilkey, who said he was in Dubai during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, said that at that time "Americans were heroes. We were thought of as saviors, but we've totally lost it. What happened?"
He didn't answer this question, but he did have an answer to what he would tell President Bush.
"I think the first recommendation I would make is to take away a serious irritant by telling the Israelis to remove all the West Bank settlements," Bilkey said.
"I feel our government and media are tiptoeing around the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians," he said.
"Our government is not addressing the problem in an vigorous way. If we don't change our unqualified support of Israel, there is no way we can win the war on terrorism," Bilkey said.
