11). A Personal Note: This website is dedicated to helping to promote
an informed public opinion that is both local and international. I
particularly want to thank those who have sent me supportive or
informative emails
from 35 countries: Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Israel, South Africa, Pakistan, Singapore, Japan, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Brazil,
Canada (plus 3 more from visitors in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Nepal). Special thanks to the visiting
professor in Singapore, who said that he was forwarding this URL to his
friends in China. I wish also to thank friends who have forwarded
useful material, such as the important
Irish Times story on bin Laden, the US, and
oil, that first reached me via Indonesia from Qatar.
I do believe that international public opinion, when it becomes
powerful enough, will become the most effective restraint to the
excesses and follies of particular governments.
Yours sincerely, Peter Dale Scott
