Dear Editor: I was ashamed of Brendan Cavalier’s article on tuesday. First of all, I am shocked that a columnist of the newspaper is proud to admit that he cannot locate Angola on a map. Decent ( leave alone good ) journalism desperately needs accurate knowledge. In fact, I think that this, in a way, explains his antidemocratic view of the war in Iraq. Exactly people like him have led the U.S. to war, people who do not care at all about what other countries have to say. For your information, Mr. Cavalier, there are other countries on Earth, like Angola. Your assumption that the U.S. voice has more power than any other voice is prepotent and wrong. Apparently Mr. Bush assumes the same premise, and this is in fact what made diplomacy fail. He did not agree with the will of the majority of the other nations and then just decided to act on his own without democratic support. This sets an “excellent” example coming from the country defending ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’, and fighting the tyrant that imposes his will.
