I read what he wrote and it is, for the most part, largely correct, yet it's because it happens to come from someone we've been conditioned to despise and associate with such words as 'evil' and 'terror' that he's reviled to the extent he is. Unfortunately for Bush, this man is much more intelligent, articulate, and well-spoken and does seem to have extremely valid points for the United States to contend with. Why is it that the United States and Israel can both hold other countries to standards to which they consider themselves exempt? Why is it that the United States can authorize, finance, and incite 'terrorism' in countries throughout the world (Cuba, Nicaraugua, Guatemala, Iran, Venezuela, just to name a few) and condemn other nations as terrorist or terrorist harboring nations? Why is it that it's ok for the US government to authorize the repression of grass roots movements overwhelmingly for peaceful and cohesive efforts through illegal means as they did through Federal program COINTELPRO? I would have a number of questions to ask my own country's administration before I would begin condemning those in another country- especially when we never know in who's favor the statements when translated ultimately tend to support.
