You are saying that the Palis are mad at the US because we are supporting the Israelis militarily.

I'm really not SAYING anything. I'm simply trying to understand how the Arabs view us.

Not that it has anything to do with our destruction of the terrorists. I don't care what they think in the seconds before they die a flaming death.

But we can't kill every Arab, nor every Muslim. I don't think we want to. I don't know how we're going to overcome this antipathy.

Again, we're talking about the greater Arab/Islamic world. I don't think we're going to kill all of them.

"I don't know how we're going to overcome this antipathy."

I agree. I don't see any way to do so. The hatred is too deeply embedded in history and in the expansionist mandate of Islam.

We can start by containing it, I suppose. There are a few key Western nations--our allies--that are being slowly Islamicized. That trend must not continue. If it does, America will find itself with a truly neutral or hostile Europe in 20 years, when things really start to heat up.

A thing to remember, is that the Muslims living in Africa and the Middle East live under totalitarian governments. They only know what their government decides to tell them. As they are so anti-American, it indicates that they have been propagandized that way. A similar brainwashing is going on in China. The price for our tolerating this type of nonsense was paid on 9-11.

Deprogramming the Muslims from this type of hate is a good, long term subject to have in mind. The first step in that process must be to punish the governments that promote violence against our country.
