he main weekly prayer sermons in mosques from Mecca to Marrakesh, Morocco, on Friday underscored the sharp contrast between the swelling David-versus-Goliath glamour Arabs associate with Hezbollah's fight and the utter antipathy toward the United States and its regional allies for doing so little to stop yet another Arab country from collapsing into bloodshed. "Our brothers are being killed in Lebanon and no one is responding to their cries for help," said Sheik Hazza'a al-Maswari, an Islamist member of Parliament, in his Friday sermon at the Mujahid mosque in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital. "Where are the Arab leaders? Do they have any skill other than begging for a fake peace outside the White House? We don't want leaders who bow to the White House."

"The tone of the sermons underscored how the lack of a cease-fire in Lebanon is both further tarnishing the image of the United States in the Arab world as being solely concerned with Israel's welfare and making its allied regimes look increasingly like puppets."

Memo to the Muslims: The U.S. and Israel are friends and allies. Get over it. And frankly, the Arab world is doing little to untarnish its image in the eyes of Americans and increasingly, in the eyes of the international community - no matter how hard your puppet master, Ahmadinejad tries to paint the Islamic world as a hugh humanitarian organization.
