One year ago tomorrow, Al-Qaeda attacked America. One of the primary reasons for this attack was because it was their perception that America was unfair and biased against Arabs and Muslims. I can state categorically that there has never been ANY bias against Muslims. However, I would agree with the evidence that America has treated Arabs differently than westerners. Proof of this is the fact that Saddam is still a dictator, and HAS been treated with much more tolerance than any equivalent western leader would have been. This has changed, America must no longer allow our racist attitudes to lead us to tolerate of an evil dictator like Saddam, just because he claims to be an Arab. There is some debate as to whether all the countries listed as members of the “axis of evil” should actually be on the list. Some argue that some countries should be removed from the list because their deeds are based on ideology. There is no debate about whether Iraq under Saddam’s control, should be on the list of the “axis of evil”, Saddam’s ambitions are personal, not ideological. Many members of Al-Qaeda have seen the evidence that America is beginning to deal more fairly with all Arabs. Senior members of the Iraqi military, and have begun to assist us in the process that will lead to the liberation of the Iraqi people from the God-less dictator Saddam, and so have members of Al-Qaeda. However, there are still some members of Al-Qaeda that are acting as hypocrites, and have not yet joined in the fight to free the Iraqi people from oppression. IC
