I never said the US doesn't do alot of good in the world, however she was talking specifically about the arab and parts of the muslim world, where outside consiterable aid to Egypt, American aid is very limited, that is why Bin Laden is able to cultivate the pathetic masses.

You are dead wrong on that, and so is she.

I have PERSONALLY worked in famine relief programs in both SUDAN and SOMALIA. Both are Muslim countries with close association to OBL. Both countries have benefited HUGELY by aid from USA.

The USA provides aid virtually EVERYWHERE IT IS NEEDED.

To state that the hearts and minds of the Muslim world have been won or lost based on the relative good being done by the various players, is COMPLETELY IGNORANT OF THE FACTS.

The hearts and minds of the Muslim world have been won, pricely because those hearts and minds live IN the Muslim world. And that is a world which poisons those hearts and minds from birth with hate.

I am completely fed up with those in this country who have had the OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW THE TRUTH, continuing to ignore it.

I don't know if you are just repeating Murray's comments or stating them yourself. Either way, we ought to at least get one fact straight: America and the West have dumped far more aid money into the region than has Bin Laden or anyone eles.

Please, listen and get this correct. Your statement that "American aid is very limited" is completely and totally false.
