Last words

America’s image of an independent judicial branch can never be brandished to the international community for as long as Mahvish Khan’s words continue to be heard. The judicial branch is clearly arm in arms with the rest of the administration, and as seen before in the onset of WWII, terror gets the best out of people when a vague “other” is branded with the title of enemy. It is ludicrous of a society as informed as America’s to believe that every single individual coming out of the Middle East is most likely a terrorist, if so one would expect all Americans to strongly adhere to George W Bush’s values. Now that is a strong imagery that would make many Americans cringe, if so how come a few bad people in the Middle East have managed to come to represent the whole region? The responsibility lies not upon those terrorists, but on the ignorance of the public, who consequently refuses to open their eyes after the blindfold has been removed. If prisoners who were tortured, humiliated, and felt the slap of injustice every day at the hands of their American captors manage to keep an open minded image of the rest of the population, it should be a no brainer that an “advanced” society should be able to do the same. I am grateful for this course, as it has given me the opportunity to back my opinions with facts. I am a better citizen of the world for it. Thank you Professor Metcalf.
