It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news media. There was no anti-American sentiment. In fact, it was just the opposite.

I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful.»

«To know an object is to lead to it through a context which the world provides.»
