Critics of this book, April 28, 2004
Reviewer: lalpanjabi from Toronto, Canada
I'd like to point out every critic of this book is American, except for one from Lebanon. It's one thing to specifically criticize facts claimed by the book, its entirely another simply to dismiss it as 'leftist drivel.' The majority of the educated and correctly informed population of the world would agree with most of the themes and statements made in this book. Anyone who disagrees is probably (in my opinion):
-A typical American brainwashed by his/her national media
-A supporter of imperialistic nations
-Someone who simply refuses to believe, that the great America is not considered so great by most of the world, and that the country's government, not its people, make decisions that anger the rest of the world, and that these decisions are made while keeping the citizens pacified through propaganda.
