DEAR EDITOR:
Who is really at fault? Let's get things straight! Having a visa as a foreigner is a privilege.
Try protesting in a foreign country against their leader and we may never see you again, especially a communist country. You are allowed to protest in the U.S. if you are here on a visa, BUT, you must be peaceful, non-violent and non-disruptive.
No vandalism or any illegal activities and you still run the risk of your immigration status and can be deported when arrested. You do not have the same rights as a U.S. citizen. Overstaying on a visa can lead to deportation.
Who is to blame for what is happening in Gaza today? You can blame George Bush, Dick Cheney and Natan Sharansky. The Palestinians voted for Hamas to run their government, but Hamas does not represent them.
They won by a bare plurality of votes. Hamas led a military victory over Fatah which led to the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007.
Fatah and Israel were against the election. Hamas, Bush and Dick Cheney were in favor of the election, and of course, Hamas won.
