From: IQBAL LATIF	Respond to of 50167

Some responses.. <<As a life long Texas Democrat it is sometimes hard to accept that at least on the terror issue the President's policy is correct. It is. Your article is wonderful prose and greatly appreciated. >> <<Wow... what an article... To: ilatif@yahoo.com Thank you from an American who happens to be married to an Iranian for 27 years. My husband will disagree, but I am in total agreement with your thoughts. >> From: Alidad Vassigh I have to say I delight in reading Iqbal Latif´s articles, illustrating as they do the existence of, I believe, a sizeable number of conservatives blessed with the ability to reason and come to the right conclusions, like myself, rather than hissing hysterically about Bush the mass murderer. The only problem is that most of these sound conservatives, the "good people" as Cicero would have called them (friends of law and order, personal freedom and security, civil society and property rights) are a silent majority that rarely expresses itself with the eloquence of our friend Iqbal Latif. It is precisely that "impotant rage" that pushes the loosers to blow everything up - from school buses to Twin Towers to American soldiers - or all that is not anarchy, poverty and dreariness. But these mobsters, like the communists and fascists of old, have their spineless though insidious sympathisers in the West, those vacuous, immoral hypocrites who live in London and Paris, not Baghdad, Basra or Damascus, who think Bush is bad and Carter good, and who secretly despise the peoples of foreign lands, thinking them undeserving of the liberal democracy they themselves enjoy and denigrate. There is your orientalism. I´ve just about had it with the Left.
