Every editorial writer who wrote pieces condemning Syria in the harshest tones is an enemy of due process, the foundation of justice.<BR/><BR/>Writing a piece calling out blinding anti-Syrian zealotry does not equal unequivocal support. Or are we still in the age of choosing between Bush's views or being against freedom? Didn't we learn our lessons of how bias can blind intelligence in Iraq? Ask Scott Ritter or check the Senate intelligence report on pre-war Iraq. Before we make a similar mistake in Syria, I think it's critical jouralists do their job in informing the public. <BR/><BR/>And I can list you nearly the entire Middle East if you want to know of regimes I can not support... most of them backed fiercely by the US Government. Syria, while not perfect, does at least give equal rights to women, respects religious diversity and strives for justice. Assad has already opened up the country a lot. Ask the people of the Gulf how free they are when a family clan, US interests and the Koran controls their destiny... or the murdered Kurds of Turkey, the jailed opposition in Egypt, or those in jail in Morocco about their freedom. <BR/><BR/>David Duke's anti-Semietic points about Syria have nothing to do with mine.leftsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00676827005815770066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574722.post-1133973105912142982005-12-07T08:31:00.000-08:002005-12-07T08:31:00.000-08:00Is there any enemy of free people that you WON'T g...Is there any enemy of free people that you WON'T go to bat for?
