"I do not like being associated with these people," said Black, a World War II veteran who became a Quaker 10 years ago. "Some of them are more anti-American than anti-war."

If its message appears to be anti-American, it's because International Answer views the Sept. 11 attacks as the angry backlash of people who have long been repressed by American foreign policies.

Guess you can't just go by the numbers. You have to look at who is protesting what and why.

Uncomfortable With Anti-American Rhetoric That Has Dominated Past Demonstrations[/i]

That's the kicker and a sum-up.

I am with them to a certain extent. It's has gotten beyond criticism and has gone in to US bashing.

thanks much.


I haven't been to any of the demonstrations so I don't know what they are saying.... but, it's disconcerting to think that the message may be "anti-american".
Anti-war, I can understand, although I don't agree with them. But, anti-american or totally against american foreign policy? I find that hard to swallow.
