He is honest about it, but the fact still remains, that he does not provide too good or balanced overview of the situations..

Also the fact that he quite systematically refuses to say anything positive about the America, has likely been a source of single-eyed anti-Americanism within many young angry man.. I wouldn't consider this as a good thing..

To conclude, he's worth reading because he provides an insightful point of view.. Still - certainly - his views are rather narrow and he should not be used as the only source...
