You know, there needs to be some balance in all of our criticism. Bush and Cheney deserve alot of criticism, no doubt. But there are a lot of things wrong with the Middle East that have nothing to do with Bush or Cheney.

For instance, the Middle East Muslims are all up in arms that some U.S. soldiers flushed some Qurans. So they go and riot and kill some of their fellow Muslims in protest.


In 1992, Americans in Los Angeles did not agree with the outcome of a trial and began rioting. When they were finished over 50 people where dead, 4k wounded and 12k arrested and $1 billion worth of damage had been done.

It makes the Muslims look like pikers.

This despite the fact that Saudi Arabian religious police routinely confiscate and destroy any Christian Bibles they find in the Kingdom. In addition, on any given day there is a Christian who is on trial in a Muslim country for trying to convert Muslims to Christianity...and the penalty is death if they are convicted. It would seem from their behavior that Muslims value a book over human life. So much for "Allah the merciful".

It seems to me that the US needs to clean up its own house before telling others how to live [see above].
