Trump attacked both parents and mentioned that the wife did not speak (I'm assuming it is some sort of orientalist babble about Muslim women being denied speaking roles) but I honestly think she destroyed him in this op-ed. Does Trump seriously think that attacking soldiers' parents and POWs will help him? Of course I also hate that the DNC seems to think that the only good Muslims are those who actively take part in America's wars of aggression, but nonetheless I do not think it is fair to blame individual soldiers' parents for the crimes of US policy. - Amith _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
