“As Salman Rushdie says, you don't have⟳ to travel⟳ far to find⟳ anti-Americanism (Op-Ed, Feb. 4). Teaching at a Canadian university, I have⟳ been astounded by some students who say⟳ the Al Qaeda attacks, inside or outside the United States, were justified because only Americans were targeted. Remaking Osama bin Laden in their own⟳ anti-American image, they insist he has no quarrel with Canada or others, just the United States. These apologists may yet discover⟳ that this movement is profoundly anti-Western as well as anti-American.”
