H. Bradley on Jan 03, 2006 00:55:42, said:: Shivers. Each word uttered in \'Danger\' by Amir Sulaiman sent a wave of anticipation, fear and remorse up my spine. Anticipation of a time for change, fear of further and stepped up reprisals by a paranoid regime afraid of lossing its stranglehold on the American people, and remorse that we have let it go so far.
I am but one of many around the world that has wondered why the good people of the USA are blinded by government propaganda that promotes their version of the good life at the expense of the poor in their nation and the rest of the world.
More people like Amir Sulaiman are needed to add their voices and demand responsible government.
Thank-you Amir
