Uh, how will we know the difference?

[GSWarrior]

This is of those painfully obvious headlines.

[Poohbah]

A U.S. attack on Iraq would trigger a wave of anti-American anger in the Arab world

The historical data does not support this contention.

[elfman2]

Arresting gangsters may trigger gangster rage. So where's this going?

[Spiff]

What's their point? Isn't it more important that arab attacks against the U.S. incurs American rage!!?

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

THEN WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL CUZ NORMALLY THEY ARE SO NICE

[sheik yerbouty]

Yata, yata. yata...

[Bill Davis FR]

yes, its the american foreign policy they hate...

[exnavy]

In other words, dictators in the arab world will have problems controling the populations in their countries.

BOO HOO

[NorCoGOP]

which may force governments to adopt repressive measures to retain control, a congressional subcommittee heard on Tuesday.

Oh, yeah...Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lybia AREN'T repressive right now? Mr Georgetown professor, would you consider these nations to be bastions of democracy?

What tripe....

[Savage Beast]

Ooooooooooo my goodness. In that case maybe we'd better let Saddam do whatever he wants to...

[dighton]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

"Arab rage."

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Faraday]

There going to be real pissed this time, really! American academics are mostly imbeciles, many of the rest are conscious anti-Semites.

[Mixer]

I dont think we need to attack Iraq to provoke these animals.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

A U.S. attack on Iraq would trigger a wave of anti-American anger in the Arab world,

Just like our attack on Afghanistan did.

[tet68]

forcing Arab governments to become more autocratic and to choke off what few democratic institutions they have.

If they can choke them off, are they really democratic?

More "They're gonna hate us!" rhetoric.

Actually this might be a good thing, the more repressive these Arab dictatorships become, the more the people may yearn for freedom. It worked for the Maqui.

[montag813]

"Arab rage"? Wasn't "black rage" what railroad mass-murderer Colin Fergason used in his defense?

I WANT Arabs enraged. I want every single Arab man and woman to be as enraged as all of us were on Sept. 11th. I want us to lay waste to their cities, conquer their bastard dictatorships and covert them to Christianity, as Ann Coulter so ably suggested.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Pollster John Zogby, presenting the results of a recent public opinion survey in five Arab nations, found little support and great opposition to a U.S. attack against Iraq in all five.

Among the several experts who addressed the committee, some suggested anti-American feeling in the Arab world was fueled mainly by Washington's pro-Israeli policies. Zogby said his polling found general admiration among Arabs for U.S. science and technology, U.S. democracy and popular culture and U.S.-made products but fierce opposition to U.S. policy toward the Palestinians. "Americans are not hated. It's only American policy that creates negative feelings among Arabs and Muslims," he said."

Ok, I know who his brother is, but the Zog has now started polling in Arab countries. And am I to understand that he testified before the congressional committee? Shades of Carville entering into the Israeli election, right here.

[McGavin999]

Yeah, there was going to be rage on the streets over Afghanistan too. Of course, that rage turned to confusion when the US was greeted by dancing in the streets when we entered Kabul.

[timydnuc]

In the words of "Bull" on "Night Court"........OOOOOOOKAAY!

Those people are nuts! If they are just nuts and don't hurt anybody but themselves, FINE, I'm all for it. But, they are intruding into the civilized world, a world of freedom, liberty, and free markets. They are killing innocents in a perverted religious fanaticism. Now they are mad dogs that need to be put down.

Meet the dog catcher...........America the Beautiful.
