You really need to get out more, and stop getting all your information exclusively from FOX and Hate Radio. You're being given a slanted view of the world, and that lack of diversified information is not allowing you to make informed decisions. I regularly watch FOX along with other news sources, and read international web-based newspapers, because you simply don't get a rounded view if you rely on one slanted set of sources. Sure, some other sources may be slanted, but once you get the entire picture, you can see the many sides and judge for yourself.
For instance, Colin Powell has been speaking with the Saudis about the possibility of a Muslim military force to help stabilize Iraq. But most Muslim countries would refuse to go under a US military command, as this report from the Scotsman notes:
' In Jakarta yesterday, Indonesian foreign ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa said: “Our position remains that any possible Indonesian involvement, including dispatching our military personnel to Iraq, has to be within and under a UN framework.”
Yemen had offered earlier this month to help in a UN mission in Iraq, provided all coalition forces withdraw . . .
Commenting on the Muslim force proposal, Arab League envoy to Britain Ali Hamid said in London that the idea could gain international support as long as it was accompanied by a clear US commitment to withdraw from Iraq and was mandated by the United Nations Security Council.
Many Arab countries have indicated they would be willing to get more involved in Iraq if they can do so under the UN, rather than a perceived US, umbrella. '
