Dec 2

of part of an interview I did with Chief Paul Waterman. He was one of the Onondaga's Wisdom Keepers.

Q: President Bush has referred to the 'evil doers.' What do you think about this?

CPW: Well he's the same way. Those people in Afghanistan are so poor and miserable. They suffer when bombs kill their parents, and they hurt when bullets kill their children. So, even if Bush believes that what he is doing is right, he has to commit evil acts to achieve his goal.

But he can't stop. The other guy won't.And when they do kill bin Laden, someone will take hid place.

I feel bad for the soldiers, too. Most of them are young men. They are patriotic. Like those men ho fought in Desert Storm, for your 'national interest.' But I can't remember the price of gas dropping much since then. So who's interest was it in?"
