agree. What arabs need is an economic miracle in a world that is now in severe recession. Not easy to do now but in any case in order to succeed they need to get rid of the extermination talk and start working with US, West, World Bank to get their economies moving. Then and only then will the osama tee shirts come off and the obama ones go on. I dont see this happeneing any time soon. Every time its tried, you get corrupt orgs like fatah siphoning off the money or fanatics like hamas turning cash into rockets to start wars they will clearly lose at an enormous cost to their populace FOR PR PURPOSES>

The sad thing is, we SUPPORT the dictatorial governments in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

Of course we do....they are conservative dictatorships. We prefer conservative democracies but in a pinch, a dictatorship will do so long as it leans the RIGHT way.

Now, bin Laden wants to replace these with even more repressive Wahabbi-style governments, but the point is, NO ONE is advocating for the people of the Arab world.

Very true.......that's why there is so much anger in the Arab world.
