You continue to simplify I don't know how to make it any more complicated. The Arab world HATES Saddam. don't think anyone disputes the fact that this war is embittering Arabs further. I don't dispute that TODAY they are embittered further. But I do dispute that long-term they will be. They're bitter because they don't have the facts. 60% of them believe the US carried out the 9/11 attacks. Al Jazerra has told them that we targeted a Baghdad market. The infidels are coming to take over Iraq. As the facts come out, the bitterness will change. It just takes a little time. Mubarak's remarks are undoubtedly colored with the same kind of Arab misunderstanding and propaganda. Just as the Kuwaitis now respect us for what we did 12 years ago, so, too, will the Iraqis. There is ample evidence to support that hatred for America is on the rise everywhere in the Muslim world. Hell, it HAS BEEN for 25 years since Carter allowed the Iranians to trample us. The Arab world responds to that kind of image. They LOVE it when they can "punch us in the nose". Again, I refer you to Friedman.
