But I wonder what is your understanding as to why. As you can see from my political standing expressed on this forum so far, I think African-Americans are more sensitive to the people's suffering around the world directly and indirectly inflicted by this country's foreign policy and want their nation to be respected by them. Expressing their beliefs in such a fashion seems to be a very healthy and does not necessarily suggest hatred to the country. Respects like many other things goes both way. 2.

For sure they certainly have a leader well-trained by CIA. It is well known that more direct cause of enmity of Al Qaeda against US came from the deployment of US military forces in Saudi. > 3.

I don't see how that "probable" fact can give any moral justification to the mass killings of civilians including Koreans deported from Korea and forced to work in those cities. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
