I am in total agreement with you on this one. Some of his fellow workers even went on to give him a birthday celebration, so obviously not all of them were offended.
Let's face it, we have some very interesting, sometimes heated debates here on FR and in our other lives as we question how we got to where we are now in this war.
Those discussions often bring up mistakes US policy has made -- leaders we have helped to empower who turned out to be bad. It doesn't make us anti-American to have an honest exchange of ideas and views -- unless one is cheering 9-11, which I'm not certain Rahat was doing.
