You're an ignorant person, TM

I blundered in trying to find more concrete specifics on the John Malkovich/Robert Fisk "affair" - and I have to say: "Well written!!"

TM You display gross ignorance of history, politcs and indeed of Robert Fisk, who does not live in London, but in Beirut, and who speaks Arabic, ans some Persian. He has a thorough grounding in the history of the Middle East, knows conditions on the ground in the countries there, including Israel, and if you put his beating, and his reaction into context, you would know that his understanding of his attackers motives is based on the fact that he was taken for an American.

The US government has never had any compunction in killing several thousand civilians, both in Afghanistan and its war for the control of oil resources (oops! er - war on terror). In sheer numbers this far outweighs the numbers killed in the terrorist attacks in the USA on September 11th 2001.

But this doesn't figure for too many Americans, who regard mass bombing of foreigners as legitimate. But the victims see this, legtimately, as terrorism too, and this is what they were reacting to when they beat up Fisk. Step out of yor American coccoon, TM, and take a look at the real world.
