you know, I didn't see any footage of anybody dancing in the streets in Israel when the WTC was attacked. Why shouldn't the US treat countries that are friendly toward it better than countries that treat it as an enemy? Frankly, I think we should cut all the economic aid programs that we are giving to Egypt and any other Muslim country that isn't behind the US 100%. We should then funnel that money into countries that have stood by the US. And do you mean the "Arab World" or do you mean the Palestinians? Is it fair to lump all of the Muslim countries into the same category? OBL seems to think so. Do you think that the US has treated all Muslim countries disrespectfully?

Respect for what? Since we separated with Arabs after battle of Tours in 742 There was no cultural or Technological development in the countries conquered by Arabs. When west rediscovered Arabs during Technological Revolution in XIX c they lived in the Middle Ages. Without Oil they would still leave in holes in the ground. Now some got Palaces and drive car but have same mentality. bin Laden used the same figure of speech "thousands of young men who loved death as you love life" that his predecessor used 1400 years ago. That’s demonstration of political progress. When Arabs show some respect to Western civilization. When they stopped spilling hatred on every page of local Newspapers. When they stop waging War on infidels (including you). ...... Since this never going to happened...USA should not change its policy
