in general 61% Middle Easterners subscribe to the lunatic view that Arab terrorists were not responsible for the murders of Sept. 11

Since there is not a single democracy or free media in the Arab Middle East, there is no chance of [honest debate]

the case of Kuwait is an example of ungratefulness of a completely different magnitude - one that puts the French of the late 1940s to shame

Outdoing the shameless French? Now there's a life skill!

[My Identity]

public opinion in Kuwait confirms that the root of anti-Americanism is
- not poverty (they are rich),
- not exploitation (they do not give oil away),
- not past grievance (we saved them),
- not purported solidarity with the Palestinians (whom they ejected),
but a basic sense of umbrage and accompanying envy that grows with greater exposure to the West.

So much for understanding root causes.
Like a deliquent child, I'd say they need some tough love.
(but they may have had too much exposure to that as young boys if reports are to be believed. )
