" And people like Musa Jeng really
believe that if we speak nicely to the guy he will heed us!"

Hamjatta:
I am confused. The last time one decided to take a position different from yours, or should I say difference
in tactic, he is called a finessing hypocrite. Oh!, and a quotaion from Barry Goldwater( Of course we all
know what happen to that candidacy), may be it was not very convincing
HamJata, It is not about being nice to Jammeh, or even being politically correct (quoting KD), rather to
argue your points with respect, maturity and to raise the importance of the discourse. I am not sure how
relevant it is, to include President Jameh's  father Bukarabu dancing to the future of our democracy. The G-L
has done well in raising the political debate about our country, and we are not going to sit by and allow
people to dilute the relevancy of this medium, without putting in our butut into the discussion. Of course, I
can be called being on the NIA paid list.

Thanls

Musa Jeng
