Tuilleann FrithMhericeánachas Duaiseanna

Ní nach ionadh. Go díreach mar gach duais sna laethanta seo, tá duaiseanna liteartha polaitiúil. Féach an sampla seo, le Marion Gunn. ("Bhímis i ngrá le Meiriceá tráth...ach..."). Maraíodh Margaret Hassan mar gheall ar shaint Mheiriceánach, tuigeann tú.

Trá dá raibh, scríobh Marion rudaí a thuillfeadh duais gan chlaonadh. Ach is léir nach sin an cás faoi láthair. Chuaigh sí trasna go dtí an Taobh Dorcha, faraor. Agus tá luach a saothair aici.

Freagra di:
"It's never the terrorists' fault that they are murderers."

"...in an asymmetrical war the cult of the underdog is a valuable tool. Europeans march with posters showing scenes from Abu Ghraib, not of the beheading of Daniel Pearl or the murder of Margaret Hassan. They do not wish, much less expect, al Qaeda to win, but they still find psychic satisfaction in seeing the world’s sole superpower tied down, as if it were the glory days of the Vietnam protests all over again. How else can we explain why Amnesty International claims that Guantanamo - specialized ethnic foods, available Korans, and international observers - is comparable to a Soviet Gulag where millions once perished? So there is a deep, deep sickness in the West." Victor David Hanson

Margaret Hassan

Tá Marion sa champa céanna le Robert Fisk. Tá briathar ann ina onóir.
(Cacamas dá chuid)

Pléann a leithéid Meiriceá mar a phléann Kevin Myers an Ghaeilge.
