| Chris Matthews: Terrorists Not Evil, Just Differently Perspectived |
| 2005-11-21 |
| Four years after 9/11 and the "crazy zeitgeist" that permeated the United States, most Americans have still not learned to know their enemies instead of just hating them, U.S. political journalist Chris Matthews says. In a speech to political science students at the University of Toronto yesterday, the host of the CNBC current affairs show Hardball had plenty of harsh words for U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the political climate that has characterized his country for the past few years. "The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn't a robust discussion of what we were doing," Matthews said. "If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we've given up. The person on the other side is not evil -- they just have a different perspective." He said Bush squandered an opportunity to unite the world against terrorism and instead made decisions that have built up worldwide animosity against his administration. |

Sorta like you Mr. Matthews and the real mainstream America. You've learned nothing about 'Red' country while you keep to your European enclave on the coast. "The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn't a robust discussion of what we were doing," Matthews said. Sorta like between Pearl Harbor and the surrender in Toyko harbor. The rest of us are busy killing the enemy and winning the war while you particpate in [scroll down] Sen. Sam Brownback and Jill Manning's oral public masturbation because as the old saying goes - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. There's a reason we refer to self important little wastes of time like you as 'wankers'. |
