This fellow is just another glib and arrogant anti-American propagandist. Almost every sentence relies upon a faulty premise or a selected "fact" from the media he claims is govt. controlled. If we wanted to inflict civilian casualties, clearly we've been doing a poor job of it compared to WWII. The UN? Ahem, Bin Laden called it criminal. I'm unclear, do we get out of the world, or give more money to it? I don't see poor Kenyans crashing planes into it. The "roots" of terrorism? Typical Western-lefty, still can't say and consider the word "religion." These terrorists aren't poor people. Should we be giving even more money to Saudi Arabia? We end sanctions on Iraq because of allegely dying babies. Will Saddam spend his extra money on child care?
In all, this fellow delivers a Oprahized version of the lefties' narcissistic vision of the world--that America is the center of it, and this American has the cure. The article's aim is to reaffirm anti-Americanism and deflect criticism and responsibility and reexamination of the Arab' world's own faults. Cearly the present crisis is a threat to the left's vision of the world.
Please copy, email, print, send to any and every American you care to. Never forget.
