Thoghts from journalist Robert Fisk

Yeah I know, that is the third blog post in one day, I should focus more on my thesis....I just needed to share this.

Robert Fisk, famous for the book conquest of the Middle-East and recognized journalist gave a speech in Vancouver in 2006. I have heard this speech several times and every time I am equally impressed. One of his quotes:

And by the time I got back to the front of the air craft, I realized that Osama Bin Laden - for I was sure he had a hand in this. He had managed to turn nice, friendly, liberal Bob into a racist in about ten seconds.And I came to the conclusion that part of the reason for doing this was not to divide Muslims from Christians. I don't believe in the clash of civilizations.It was to divide the innocent from the innocent.It was to make us hate each other. That was the purpose.

He also shows a strong historical resemblence with events in the Middle-East one hundred years back and the current reality. Very fascinating stuff, if you get the chance, check this speech out.
