We are not hated because we are "good;"
we're hated because we've been killing them;
We are not hated because we are "free;"
we're hated because we support the dictators who abuse them;
We are not hated because we are "rich";
we're hated because of our hypocrisy.
03/15/2008 Author's Note: I didn't write this. I believe, but I'm not sure, that the author is Jon Basil Utley. The son of prominent social activist and best selling author whose expertise was sino-american relations, Freda Utley, Jon is himself, a influencial figure in Washington DC and true to his heritage a social decinstrucitonist in the true conservative mold. I have always regarded myself a little left of the folks who feel off the left, but as I read more and more of what Jon is saying, I think that there may be a lot less divide in the two primary political camps active today. I think, perhaps, rather than search for validation of what we think we believe, we should search for the opponent's truths and see where we can agree. So, in conclusion, I thought the 1000 or 2000 people* who visit my poetry each week might enjoy www. againstbombing.com
*Typo - It should read:
'the 1 or 2 people'
