Indeed. That's wrong too. I assume you don't consider such
terrorist groups a moral paradigm, right?

Gosh, the US gov would *never* do anything like that. No, they would
*never*, say, grossly exagerate murders committed by Iraqis or Serbs.
They would *never* understate dubious activity by those saintly
freedom fighters in Afghanistan.
And if they did, goodness, we all know the US public is quite immune
to nonsense like creationism and the drug hysteria.

about good people too. You're not going to trade with US citizens
either?

join your boycott.
