1. thanks

I think we need to study it all. He's got a couple of points I hadn't considered.

2. Good Job, American Media. *slaps collective news outlets*

It's nice that I have to go to a foreign media outlet to get this information.

3. "Destruction is freedom and democracy"

"Destruction is freedom and democracy, while resistance is terrorism and intolerance."

I HATE to say it but he's got a point.

6. yes, he is characterizing Bush's form of "democracy"

". . . it was confirmed to me that oppression and the intentional killing of innocent women and children is a deliberate American policy. Destruction is freedom and democracy, while resistance is terrorism and intolerance."

I think it should have been transcribed with quotes around the words "freedom and democracy" as well as "terrorism and intolerance" to signify irony.
