Lee Bollinger closes with this. "Let me close with this comment. Frankly, and in all candor, Mr. President, I doubt that you will have the intellectual courage to answer these questions. But your avoiding them will in itself be meaningful to us. I do expect you to exhibit the fanatical mindset that characterizes so much of what you say and do. Fortunately, I am told by experts on your country, that this only further undermines your position in Iran with all the many good-hearted, intelligent citizens there. A year ago, I am reliably told, your preposterous and belligerent statements in this country (as in your meeting at the Council on Foreign Relations) so embarrassed sensible Iranian citizens that this led to your party's defeat in the December mayoral elections."
Was he talking about Bush or Ahmadinejad cause it applies to both of these fanatical zealots. America has become the biggest supporter of terrorism because it helps keep people afraid of everything while being fleecing of a thrid of their pay checks towards an un-ending un-winnable war against a TACTIC (terrorism is tactic not an enemy). For the past 60 years the american people have been defrauded by Democrats and Republicans alike. Of the major problems facing this country have we solved or even made any headway on any of them. The RED and the BLUE have been screwing you, Vote Green!
