good sign. He said that he has received much support from the Muslim community, the Chinese community, the Interfaith Community, etc. He didn't mention any particular politician who apologized on behalf of this country for what our tax dollar did to him . . . But specifically to your question, I don't think that it was as obvious to him as it is us here. The media has been silent. The politicians have been silent. There were no demonstrations in his name. No bombardment of letters to the editor. Etc. Etc. Etc. He has a lot of courage of knowing he was right in his convictions and believing others would eventually join him.
