The editor said, “I personally have lived in the USA for a long time. I learned from the American society that freedom of expression and opinion are basics that should never be denied. Any American can oppose his president or US government when it comes to foreign or domestic policies and that person remains a genuine American with all his rights preserved no matter how bizarre his opinion may be.”
The writer might also notice that American freedom of expression includes statements rejecting 'Anti-Americanism' accusations. He may trust that most Americans, by long experience, recognize the limited value and meaning of such statements; and with Yemenis of good will pursue our common interests together despite them.
