US President George W. Bush's re-election victory was greeted in the Arab world with a sense of disillusionment and foreboding

Good!

The Arab leaders had hoped they could return to the status quo of oppressing the people and blaming America.

The best way to engage Arab hearts and minds is to march them all to the polling booth to select their leaders ~ men and women alike!

That and the adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code and the firming up of land and real property title guarantees would bring these folks into the 21st Century in fine shape.

If they'd take out their own trash, we wouldn't have to. They're beyond stupid.

Consistently second only to Ariel Sharon in terms of unpopularity among Arabs

Apparently includes John Zogby.

Especially after 9/11, I could care less what the Arab gutter thinks.

First you need to implement the Coulter Doctrine: kill their leaders and convert the survivors to Christianity. THEN march 'em to the polls.

Yes, agreed. They should be and remain afraid. Very afraid.

Actually, folks in those parts used to pretty much adhere to Christianity. They still had war and kept a really nasty dictatorship called Byzantium in power.

First the elections, then we go to church, preferably mine.

"A continued failure to engage Arab hearts and minds "

The question remains: Do Arabs have hearts and minds?

Sounds like they got our message!

I guess it's camel and goat sodomy time again in Ragheadland.

Yahya Sadowski, professor of politics at the American University of Beirut, said the US needs to invest seriously in programs that improve the lives of average citizens in the Arab world, such as literacy and child healthcare.

"For a fraction of what the US is spending to demolish Iraq it could win a great deal of goodwill," he said.

First of all, many middle-east nations are oil rich - can't they handle their own literacy and healthcare problems?

Secondly, the US is not demolishing Iraq - the terrorists and Baathists are.

Man I wish these people could get a handle on reality!
