[Austin-ghetto-list] Edward Said

[Bill Irwin]

Wayne:
Thanks for pointing us to the reading list.  For those interested in history
I suggest that they investigate the history surrounding the Sha of Iran as a
case study of the methods used by the West to control and exploit the oil
wealth of the area.  The first step in securing a secure America (and the
world) is to learn about the history leading up to the present situation.
Once we understand the problem then a solution may emerge.  Too bad Bush
can't read.

By the way Wayne, if you keep posting stuff like this we are going to get on
the FBI's Ghetto Shit list #2.
Bill
