But I forgot, Reuters only has to be neutral about Arab terrorists, not about President Bush.

Now you're adapting logically to their incoherence. Breath deeply.

Simply put, ask anyone (in the Middle East) in a position of stature or access and they will oppose current U.S. aims completely. Why do you suppose an Arab director of a think tank or an Arab member of government or a Muslim cleric don't want the U.S. to succeed? Because they are next.

They are part of the current power structure. Of course they oppose the U.S. Right now, they need no talent or skill, merely connections with the Terrocrats. Liberation seals their downfall.

"He wants democracy and the U.S. is occupying Iraq and its ally Israel is killing Palestinians? Arabs just don't buy it."

Hmmmmm.
55 muslim countries not yet taught a lesson. This clown is complaining?
You leave us alone, sandmaggot, and you can kill each other all you want.

The only thing I can say about the Arab world is that they are backwards. For the West to comply with their wishes would be suicide.

If Israel disappears, they would have to invent something like it lest they tear each other apart again.

Shows what happens when a bunch of backward dunebillies get a country of their own along with their arch rivals.

It would work because the 5% big mouths are talking for the other 95% that really wants us to stay. They could only keep this charade up sfor so long before the truth come out.

When that happens, the lib spin will be immense. Turn off the tube lest you become dizzy and nauseous.

Arabs are not experts on democracy! They should be looking at their own glass houses before they throw stones at President Bush or America. They should be critizing the Muslims, who call themselves Americans, who have not spoken out against terrorists! They should be critizing Saudi Arabia, Egypt, New Sudan, Iran, Libya, Jordan, etc. where Christians are daily persecuted. The Christians living in the "Arab occupied territories" of Israel have been raped, murdered and their businesses stolen. Where is the outcry?

"Democracy is all about legalities, rule of law and legitimacy," he said. "There is an issue of double standards."

I guess he means that we represent the standard of democracy while they represent the standard of totalitarianism.

Unfortunately, we Christians have left ourselves open to this sort of thing. Maybe we're too tolerant in a world where most other religions have still to learn that virtue, or likely never will. It probably ties into the white guilt thing to, seeing as Christianity is most closely associated with white Europeans. PCism doesn't help.

they were appalled Washington was preaching liberty for Arabs while occupying Iraq.

Ah ah ah, the arab leaders occupying their own people's lives are shaking at the sight of forces liberating people from tyrants... muslims all should be ashamed of how they treat their own.

One must be proud of being banned or of banishing himself from those overlydependent and self-nursing mutualy dumbing down sicko pagans who just do not get it.
