Saddam's hero-like image shattered in Arab eyes

As Bin Ladin said, when Muslims see a strong horse and a weak horse, they prefer a strong horse. Americans would probably side with the weak horse, because they sympathize with underdogs. Arabs seem to have little sympathy for anyone, particularly victims.

A+ observation.

Minor point...I think Osama said "people see", ie in general.

Another post worthy of your screen-name.

"I wish it was a Hollywood movie, the wishful thinking of an American director," said Palestinian Salah Ahmed. "The scene of him being examined by American doctors was the most painful since his statues were destroyed."

Though probably not as painfull as the last second of a homicide bomber's life as he kills more innocent women and children in the name of these "great heros" like Saddam and Arafat.

Ahmed here has shown he is an enemy of freedom, peace, and good. He supports a Fascist dictator in Iraq and lives under another follower of national socialim (Arafat) in "Palistine".

I say that in quotes because, "Hey, AAAAhmed!!" why do you live in a place named by the Romans? Palistine is a Roman word for "Land of the Philistines". It was imposed on Isreal after Rome conquered it. It's not Arabic at all! As a matter of fact, the "Palistinians" were treated worse than Kurds until they started attacking Isrealis... Now they're the "Darlings" of the Arab world.

I like President Bush, but I fully disagree that Islam is the "Religon of Peace". And every time a Islamic follwer opens their mouth, it confirms my beliefs.

BTW, the reaction of the "Arab Street" (non-Iraqi) and the DNC/DU members are about the same. Are there ANY questions left on what the leftists believe and what they want to do to the USA and those who oppose them??? Are there ANY questions left of how evil the Leftists are?

am more than upset am angry," said Nabil Gazawi, a human right activist.

Anger? Go for the stereotype: rage.

ALL arabs are cowards.

That’s why the had to invent using depressed teenager suicide bombers.

They will NEVER fight.

"I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this really Saddam Hussein (on TV), the Saddam that frightened Iraqis to Arabs? I thought that was a mistake, maybe a new American game. But then I remembered that he gave up Baghdad just like that... I am more than upset am angry," said Nabil Gazawi, a human right activist.

Is that what the call terrorist enablers nowadays?

Is THIS an Arabic example of an "human right activist"

Not quite Ganhdi, is he?

Quite right. I was just doing a little translating. When Osama says "people" he means Muslim men. Everyone else is either in purdah or is a dog or a pig.

If this is the case though, then why do they side with the Palestinians?

As you say, they view the Palestinians as tools. They won't let them into their own countries if they can help it.

Maybe I should have added that they do have tribal loyalties. They usually take care of their relatives and extended families.

Anyone who is familiar with bullies saw this coming. They bluster, they pick on the weak, they're cruel...........until someone stands up to them, and especially someone who isn't afraid of them and knows they can kick the bully's ass.

Saddam, you pissant little bully, you picked on the wrong big kid on the playground. Then you pussed out.

Put 'em in any country, any palace, any hovel, any uniform, any title, any culture.........people are people and are predictable.

You mean his hero image wasn't shattered when he killed over 300,000 people?

Weird people those Arabs...
