<<If the Iraqis put up as little resistance as we've seen so far, then this is going to end up being as big a humiliation for the Arabs, as their defeat in 1967 by Israel. And these are people for whom humiliation is, literally, worse than death>> So how were we supposed to win the war and be sensitive to the expectations of the Arab street? It seems they would only have been happy if more of our troops were killed along with more carnage in Bagdad. It seems when we perform poorly as in Mogadishu we motivate them and when we perform superbly we motivate them. Let the newly motivated come running to Iraq to support Saddam. If the Marines dont send them to Allah the liberated Iraqi's will soon be in a position to do so.
