Please pass on my sincerest appreciation for Ms. Gutridge's editorial on 'Our Sacred African Anger' (Pambazuka News 139). It is an amazing piece, impassioned, witty, poignant and timely. There are many Americans here who feel similarly, including myself. We too would say good riddance to the 'axis of evil'- Bush, Cheney and the puppets of the extreme right. I will not even attempt a justification of this administration's wrongs, there is none. I will endeavour to suggest, however, that for many Americans, the propaganda and hatred of this administration, and the imperialist legacy of this country, are not manifest in our hearts, our minds or our beliefs. If only we had more courageous politicians that would deliver the same honest, scathing and accurate accounting that you have. Thank you for your words.
