Maybe someone needs to explain to all you white boys (esp. the dear
departed Adam Rose) that the people of the third world don't give a damn
about "hurting imperialism." They want the conditions of their lives to
improve. People who defend reactionary fundamentalist regimes or brutal
dictators (I'm not including you, Hugh -- you just make the mistake of
looking at this from your amazingly limited point of view instead of
theirs) just because they're anti-American or "anti-imperialist" deserve to
be horsewhipped. Come the revolution, I'll see what I can do about it.
