The Arab nations think our activity in Iraq is immoral, illegal and unethical as hell. It's the least popular idea in the Arab world since mandatory adult circumcision. Well someone apparently didn't believe that... Because we have used their territory to carry out this invasion... I'm sorry that I even have to bother writing this down for you... But even with that said, it's apparent that either we have a cynical attempt by neighboring Arab states to maintain disorder and insecurity in Iraq so that they can delay bringing Iraq's oil online, or that the US is not interested in permitting them to participate. This reminds me of how the Bush administration deluded themselves on Turkish involvement in the war against Iraq. Are you kidding??!!! The only issue with Turkey was THE PRICE!!!... Bush decided not to pay that price.. But the Turks would have been HAPPY to permit US troops to enter Iraq... (for about $30 Billion "UP FRONT") So don't preach to us about "turkish democracy".. Hawk
