Hi Mario,
I thought you'd find the letter below of some interest. However, I do hope
that it will not result in your habitual invective against anything you
disagree with. I have kept up with your correspondence on Goanet relating to
Iraq and you do know that I disagree profoundly with every aspect of your
position on this theme, and therefore, hope that repetition from you will
not be necessary. I do want to add that I harbour no dislike whatsoever for
America, and indeed have a high regard for it generally, but not for its
current administration.
Regards,
Cornel

"As one of the estimated 250,000 US citizens resident in the UK, I would
like to emphasise my dismay at President Bush's efforts to rally support for
the failing war in Iraq (The Sobering of America, June 30). The blatant
exploitation of people's fears, combined with exhortations to a fallacious
link with 9/11, insults Americans everywhere by assuming we overlook the
lies which formed the basis of the invasion, and the means by which Britain
was coerced to back the US.
Americans in the US are now turning more openly against the President. It
would be heartening to see such a trend among US citizens here, instead of
the persistent and uncharacteristic silence that seems to have befallen us."
