You can almost FEEL the scorn by this BBC writer at this passage. news.bbc.co.uk 'Sound of freedom' Saddam Hussein was a never a good neighbour, but after his armies were expelled from Kuwait in 1991 he was contained. The conservative, mainly elderly Sunni royalty who run the Arab Gulf like predictability. What is happening in Iraq now is not at all predictable, and that makes them nervous. At the biggest arms fair in the Middle East, which was held in Abu Dhabi last month, the best-selling items were weapons and equipment for border security and counter-insurgency. Two US aircraft carriers are in waters near the Middle East And what about the Americans? Some of them still seem to be believers in the dead dreams of four years ago. On the flight deck of the enormous US aircraft carrier the USS Eisenhower in the Gulf this week, warplanes were being shot out of the steam catapults on the flight deck with engines that roared and screamed so loudly you felt it in your sinuses, teeth and jawbone. "Listen to it," one of the officers told me when the warplanes were launched and streaking up the Gulf to Iraq. "It is the sound of freedom."
