“Professor Merriman is highly knowledgeable about his subject. Unfortunately, in his last lecture he injected an obvious anti-American bias, outrageously stating that Bush and Cheney were responsible for putting America on a list of nations that use torture and that they should be brought before an international tribunal. Remark was entirely gratuitous because it was well outside the scope of the course, Europe 1648-1945. The idea that an American president be subjected to such a tribunal is beyond ridiculous when all he was doing was trying to protect the American people, quite successfully might add.
He went on to quote a French friend who stated that "the magic is over" for the U .S. and that Europe no longer looks up to us. This view from a Europe that in the 20th century gave us fascism, communism, socialism, the holocaust, two world wars costing
50 million lives and unspeakable destruction.
This kind of anti-American indoctrination of young people is disgusting and unconscionable. Shame on him.”
