"But what I will embrace as true is the notion that the invasion of Iraq has alienated Muslims against the US, not just in the Arab world but throughout the Muslim world."

oh please! then explain to me 9/11, explain to me the USS Cole, explain to me the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, explain to me Pan Am Flight 103, explain to me Achille Lauro, explain to me the embassy bombings in 1998, explain to me why Muslim males took over the US embassy in Iran in 1979......yeah we were loved (to death) by Muslims prior to Iraq.
