FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2001 The Washington Times reported yesterday that former President Bill Clinton suggested terrorism was America's price for hundreds of years of historical injustices against Native Americans and African-Americans. Readers of the paper react. ROBERT G. SNOPEK: "Former President Bill Clinton reasons that we are experiencing foreign terror on our own soil because of our history of internal terror — slavery and the harsh treatment of American Indians. . . I hope the rest of America recognizes this prattle for what it is: good old Arkansas hogwash." MATTHEW RUESCH: "Mr. Clinton's speech to a diverse crowd of students on campus provided hope and vision during a time in our history when we are all struggling to remain strong and have courage. Your story incorrectly implied meanings and unstated partisanship in a speech intended to lift our heads and embrace a positive future for our country." DAVID LUKEN: "A country that survived eight years with [Bill Clinton] at its helm has little to fear from Osama bin Laden and his suicidal followers." Get the Story:
