They should feel shame. It was thier complicity that allowed the animal to feed and grow.

We Should Feel Humiliated that Arab Intellectuals Supported Saddam

Well maybe President Kerry will let him go and give them a "do-over."

[DManA]

If you don't, we wasted the lives of a lot of good men and women.

We Should Feel Humiliated

'Saddam Surrendered in this Docile Manner Because He Knew His Captors Were Americans'

As opposed to...

[gooleyman]

I'm sure if they had known it was so "easy", they would have tried. Saddam had them all scared sh!tless. He had the whole world fooled that he was larger than life. The Arabs see now he was all bark and little bite.

[Robert_Paulson2]

What is it with arab/muslims and their OBSESSION with being humiliated? Its always; "This humiliates me" or "that humiliates us" or "what a humiliation it is to our culture, or nation or religion?"

Who cares?!?!
LIFE is by nature HUMILIATION.
Get over it arabs.

It's what we DO in the face of life's most certain humiliations that counts for something.

Ehhh... it was our complicity as well.

Don't be misled. It wasn't easy. The Arabs could never have done it (ask the Iranis). It was easy for a superbly trained and equipped military, with leaders close to genius (Franks, Rumsfeld and Bush).
And if we don't keep a team like that, the next engagement is surely not going to be easy.

Arabs seem to have a lot of issues with low self-esteem, and with small wonder. Their governments are run by under-educated megalomaniacs, they lack basic self-control, their various languages are mostly gibberish and they are not very hygienic in their personal habits. Outside of that, they are a great bunch of folk.

[NeonKnight]

This guy actually makes some good points. We don't want to be there anymore than they want us there. The sooner they get there act together, the sooner we can be gone.

Arabs are now hated in Afghanistan. Outsiders are now distrusted in Iraq. Didn't GWB say something about turning the evil doers against each other several years ago?

[taxcontrol]

Nice to see that a few, a precious few, in the Arab world are starting to learn the lessons of modern world.

One of the harsh lessons is that people will get the type of government they deserve. Create an environment where despots CAN thrive and guess what?..... one will thrive.

[longtermmemmory]

President Kerry would put saddam back in power as a stabalizing force and appoint Albright as the special envoy.

Dr. Osama Al-Ghazali Harb, the editor in chief of the Egyptian quarterly Al-Siyassa Al-Dawliya magazine and board member and advisor to the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies

Sounds like an Egyptian Republican! (Do they have opposition parties?)

Not to mention their most caprious God, who decides his love for his children at whim and arbitrarily.

Pingpingping!

I must take some exception to your general comments about Arabs. I was an Adviser in Saudi Arabia in '78/'79 and their personal hygiene is excellent. And, to call a person's language gibberish, is wrong. It that what you would also say about the languages of our Native Americans. Shot gun blasts at another ethnic group, shows bias.
