And a lot of Arab news organizations really focused on the flag that we had around the statues head for a few minutes...

That was an unfortunate poor choice made by that Marine. But the Iraqis didn't seem to be bothered by it.

I believe the other Arab nations will come around gradually.

I noticed that one of those organizations moved their roof top camera to a position that doesn't show the statue anymore - it was obscured by a palm tree.

I understand why that was a stupid move but people seem to react to it more than it deserves.....not just Muslims. Last nite at the gym, a couple of people groaned when they saw it on the news.
