How did the germans treat those arabs when they took them over in the 30s ?

RW, > Do you think terrorism is a religious thing, an "anti-crusade"? And has nothing to do with our actions in the region? It's all connected. We buy their oil, which helps them prosper, but we also force our interests upon them. Meanwhile their incredibly backwards social structure and theology creates poverty and oppression, which they then blame on us. Of course we have a hand in it, but there's no way we're not unless we find some way to move our economy off of oil. In the meantime, we'll have to take some responsibility for trying to fix things over there. If that means closing Gitmo, I'm all for it. But I wish Obama steered his rhetoric toward that goal instead of trying to please the "Blame America First" crowd. I know Obama can, especially with his about-face on the release of the abuse photos. Tenchusatsu
