But they don't know that - they don't get CNN, they don't read the London Times,
they can't access the internet. They have been raised with only one "truth", and
it is whatever their leader has told them, from preschool age through to
martyrdom.
If we can fix THAT, we could solve so much of the "terrorism problem", though it
will take a generation.
And, of course, the flat statement that the US has done nothing wrong is:
1. not an objective statement - it's accuracy depends on the personal beliefs of
the recipient.
2. nothing more than a point of view - lot's of people in the world (including
the USA) disagree...
