<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Folks, when reading all these lengthy reports from
the left detailing how corrupt your country is, it would be helpful to note the
sources these America haters rely on. Our beloved Tom relies on anonymous
"unofficial" reports. The good professor Gier relies on enemy
propaganda. In my opinion, before one dismisses his own government's
version of events, he ought to at least give it a fair hearing rather than view
any official utterance as automatically suspect. These leftists have not
believed in their country since 1968. They view anything America does as
"imperialistic aggression." They feel that as such aggressors, we deserved
what happened on 911. They, whether they are conscious of it or not, share
the goals of our enemies. They are what are frequently referred to as the
enemy from within, and their tales of America's failings should be taken with
the appropriate shaker of salt.</FONT></DIV>
