Fw: OT: Food for Thoughts 5

["Daniel" <daniel_c@vtr.net>]

Glenn , Kevin not to criticise you, but your opinion is reactionary and
unwarranted clearly you have no grasp of international politics or social
studies. Tho it's understandable due to the situation.

I should suggest to talk to any arab or afghan, pakistani neighbour and 
find
abit more about their point of views. Also take a course in Arab studies.
Only will understanding and it's quest will prevail over ignorance and
violence.
Clearly David Torn for instance has been who has studied east asian and
middle eastern culture.
I was hoping for him to participate in any cultural viewpoint.
To put to you bluntly as the rest of the 3rd world sees it, wouldn't you
cheer if your Mother in law's house burned down or the neighbourhood bully
got beaten up.
It's only human and responsive of certain Western power's foreign policies
of which you have yet to find out.
east meets west and never shall the twain meet.
