I am not intimidated by political correctness by our government and media. It ignores at home and abroad abuses inflicted in Christians but often exaggerates or creates offenses done to other religions and the irreligious.

How could the entire U.S. media surpress the critical fact that there are 8 million Christians in Pakistan? It certainly is not an oversight. It is rather deliberate. It is bigotry despite the claim of this establishment that they foster tolerance. Yes, tolerance only for what they tolerate.

Good luck to you. Don't expect much from our government nor take seriously that Bush and Ashcroft are "born again" Christian. They are born again every time their interest changes. Or as a famous American newspaperman of fierce independence wrote:

Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed. And that particularly applies to those who calls themselves our friends.
