Salman Rushdie tells it like it is. This is from the Feb. 4th New York Times. America and Anti-Americans: “Those elements in the Arab and Muslim world who blame America for their own feelings of political impotence are feeling more impotent than ever…. What America is accused of — closed- mindedness, stereotyping, ignorance — is also what its accusers would see if they looked into a mirror.” Ouch.
