When America was great

[mia]

...For years I have believed, lived and taught people in the Middle East about some of the important virtues of life in the United States of America and what America stood for. Now the United States I am witnessing under President Trump is falling far short of that shining example....

But perhaps the biggest problem for me has been the violation of America’s bedrock principle of the separation of church and state. The new executive order on refugees from predominantly Muslim countries destroyed centuries of an American moral vision based on not discriminating against human beings based on religion....

When I was imprisoned by the Palestinian Authority on May 20, 1997, for broadcasting a session of the Palestinian legislature dealing with corruption, I could count on senior administration officials in the United States, such as then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and White House press secretary Mike McCurry to stand up for me and for press freedom. Who will stand up for press freedom in the Trump administration?

As to role models, from now on, I can only reference the period before Donald Trump, when America was truly great.
