Your problem is you're prejudiced against all Muslims and Arabs. That very prejudice is what usually leads to problems. Plus our addiction to their oil, of course, and the problems with Israel. If we want to protect the lives of our troops, save more squandering of our money in the Middle East, truly battle real terrorists and make this a more secure world, then we can't come off like a bunch of racist rednecks or Nazis. We have to show a little respect (even if we don't really mean it). You'd be surprised how much cooperation a little diplomacy and common sense can create. One thing Bush has proven for sure, whatever he's been doing has not worked. In fact, it's totally backfired. So why keep repeating the same mistakes again and again? No common sense to that.

At least, if he is here we know he is not out playing in the streets and scaring the cats... ;-) He surely hates democracy and supporting the policy guidelines of his elected leaders. As I said before, his abject cringing before the world on "behalf of America" is just sickening. Most of us like to look up to America as the birthplace (or at least the crucible) of human rights and freedoms. But listening to the whining of AS about how bad your most respected and powerful people are--well, it makes one blush in a sympathy reaction. He is clueless about the monsters out there hiding from America's eyes and guns. Does he also hate Israel, or just his homeland? I would not be surprised (after hearing him for a couple of days) to learn that he would welcome the destruction of Israel. I am sure that he would embrace the myth of the noble savage and must truly hate seeing Israel despoil the idyllic landscape of these noble primitives. Of course, it was undoubtedly Bush who caused the creation of Israel and determined she was to have a civilized constitution. Our man, Bush. Sounds like a movie...<g>
