What a great article! ( Instead of 'Thank you' Is the US an evil Empire? January 10, 2003 The Iranian) I enjoyed reading that. Indeed, the recent killings of Americans in Jordan and Yemen revealed them to be there helping the people of those nations -- and they got killed for it. The heinous execution of American doctors working inside a hospital to save lives exposes the despicable bankruptcy of Bin Ladenism, yet he remains a hero. Even now, there are over 30,000 Americans in Yemen -- over half on humanitarian missions despite the extreme risk to their own lives. What has surprised me most since 9/11 is the absolute impotence of European leaders. Saddam Hussein violates every tenant of the French Constitution, yet they're doing everything they can to protect him from being deposed. In North Korea, human rights are never the issue. Bush is bashed for even calling them what they are -- evil. The rest of the world wants him to shut up and appease like they do. In a world where I thought we had many friends, 9/11 woke me up to see that we're very, very alone. C---- L------- Nashville, TN
