Reply #7: Respected him?

[judy]

Is that why they murdered his family, and humiliated him?
What are you talking about? Feared, yes, but respected? I don't think so...
But that was not my point anyway...and sorry if I offended anyone.

During WWII, the paratroopers used that name "Geronimo!" to inspire and give themselves courage (after they had seen a movie about him)
Who knows why the CIA picked that name, maybe it was to indicate that mission had been accomplished with courage, and not a nickname for OBL himself.
But again, that was not my point.

There are bigger battles to fight than to bristle under what is perceived as an insult, when your ancestors were victims of a genocide, and you are confined to land over which you supposedly have sovereignty except when the white man deems that there is coal or minerals on your land...and you have no jobs no means of subsistance, and people like Leonard Peltier are kept in prison and denied parole even though the original witnesses recanted...and Geronimo was not his name anyway...
