Lots of Saddam-oppressed citizens of Iraq support U.S. intervention.

Actually, Saddam only wanted his property back. Kuwait was slant drilling while denying property rights about Iraq. But you argue from the perspective of believing in government agenda.

Now, America has distributed military all around the world............. and you say this is good?

Why, of course the other Arab countries oppose a strike on Saddam Hussein, not because it would succeed, but because they have no confidence that the strike will be quick enough to completely excise the Saddam Hussein regime. They are at their most vulnerable when Saddam is under fire, and the return fire will not be directed at the US forces, but at the Muslim neighbors, or worse yet, at Israel, and they would join in the fray. The other Arab states are scared sh¡tless of Saddam, and while they would like him gone, they are probably hoping he will die of whatever causes, and his successor will be more tractable.

Let me begin by saying I am not a racist or bigot. I hope I don't get flamed for what I am about to say. After the last several months I find I cannot trust ANY arab. Their beliefs are strong and religious. I put them in two catagories. Those that would like to kill all westerners and those that have taken training to actually kills us. I believe their religions convictions are so strong they truly believe that if you do not believe in Allah you are an infidel that deserves to die. There I said it. I feel a lot better.

No problem, I'm glad they came out and said this. We're finding out who our friends are. We'll wipe Iraq, Iran, and Syria off the maps. Then, the next time that some foreign tyrant invades an arab nation, we'll sit back and watch the carnage. Fine by me.

That's why the first Gulf War was a mistake. Who cares is Saddam owns Kuwait? What's he gonna do with the oil, drink it?

“There is an Arab consensus on opposing any strike against any Arab country,” Mussa told reporters after arriving here on the first official visit to Iraq by a head of the pan-Arab body since 1990.

Yes, and there was an Arab consensus that to bomb Afghanistan during Ramadan last year would be too much. All the muslim countries would be outraged. And then there was Saddam's threat of the "mother of all wars" during the Gulf War and that also blew out like a bunch of hot air.

I don't mean that they can't induce ignorant a$$s to blow up people, but their leadership has gone too far. Clinton isn't President any more, but they don't seem to realize it.

If given a choice, most if not all Americans would have opposed crashing planes into the WTC to.

Enough being pushed around by a few extremists. The line has been drawn in the sand, it's time to take a stand.

"All Arabs oppose strike on Iraq"

All Arabs supported the Sept. 11th attack on the US .

You actually believe we fought the Gulf War to free Arabs? Wow, that propaganda works even better in "democracies" than it did in communist countries. At least in the communist countries the people were skeptical of what their governments and media told them. Here people buy it without a second thought. Who would have guessed it?

The US should announce to the arab world that we will pull our troops from Saudi Arabia and that we will not engage Iraq unless we are attacked by Iraqi troops or terrorists. That should have a dramatic impact on Sadam and the rest of the arab peace lovers.

This is just propaganda. When they want to promote Islam they say that less than 1% are in militant factions.

Now they are saying All Arabs oppose strike on Iraq

I will bet there is at least one Arab out there that would like to see Sadam get Sadamized.

They can relax. Mr. Hussein knows we aren't going to take him out. The anthrax he so generously provided to his agent, Mr. Atta, is protection enough. He got his yuks watching Mr. Atta take down those towers, and now he's sitting pretty. You can thank bill clinton for that.

Mussa is the Arab League's Colin Powell. His assertions are pretty much opposite of the League's policies and actions. His job is to help keep the Arab streets pacified (if not happy) while the League membership goes on with its coalition business.
