Despite their respect for its values, people still hate the US
By Richard Halloran

Tuesday, Aug 24, 2004,Page 9

Several Asian visitors to Honolulu trooped down to a local cinema the other day to see the controversial film produced by Michael Moore, Fahrenheit 9/11. They came out astonished, not by the film's vehement criticism of President Bush but by the US freedom the film reflected.

Said an Indian: "I am amazed that you have the freedom to make such a film. In my country, which is a democracy, we could never have shown such a film."

A Vietnamese, whose country is not a democracy, said: "I thought the movie was very unfair to your president but Michael Moore is still walking around free."

Similarly, visiting South Korean editors were taken to a laboratory where the repatriated remains of Americans who died in the Korean and Vietnam wars are painstakingly identified.

Bush's Iraq plan must be that of Americas Vietnam plan. Just kill all of the older people and the young ones won't even know what happened.
