> you really think it is possible to change Arab/Islamic sentiment against the west with the use of handouts and niceties.

Oh please! When did hand outs change anything. But if you truly believe that human race is so likely to hate people half way around the world whom have done nothing wrong, and that we are destined to hate those whom we've never met so strongly that nothing short of a life time of psychotherapy will work, then you and I do not have the same understanding of humanity or the issues it is facing.

> Until the flow of anti US reporting is stopped we'll never stand a chance of changing anything, IMO.

Really? How do you explain Iran? There has been constant flow of anti-American reporting and little in the way of America contradicting it. Yet the Iranian public is the most pro-American public in the middle east. How do you explain that given your views?
