Bill Sykes' Newsletter
from America.
(November 2002)
An ex-Brit gives his views-(without fear
or favor)---of the American Scene
My Response
I can only answer John’s comment “that perhaps
I should have made more of the an issue of the infringement
of American civil rights”, by saying that from time
to time in several issues of the news letter I have quoted
the world as envisaged by George Orwell in his book ‘1984’,
with the fervent hope that maybe there are a few American
readers of the Huddersfield One web site who have heard
of George Orwell and recognize the implications of his predictions.
 The
torture of political detainees is an introduction into the
barbaric world of sadistic practices and goes very much
against the grain of the honored traditions of the American
people’s Bill of Rights and Civil Liberties, which
has always been the rallying cry against countries such
as China, Russia, South Africa, (apartheid), and also certain
Arab and African countries.
I too must confess to being of the opinion that President
George Bush is looking for any excuse to complete what his
father before him George Bush Senior failed to do, the removal
of Saddam Hussein and the Americanization of the Iraqi people
with perhaps the added Colonialistic ambition of controlling
the vast oil reserves that exist in Iraq.
