    I don't care about Arabs. I do care about American leftists. But the friend of my enemy is my enemy.

    The writer of the article you cite does not have a command of the English language. Don't cite that writer again without employing the services of an editor.

    I'm not surprised by the findings. But things are still going to get bad for Arabs in America. Things have changed over the last ten years. Attitudes have hardened.

    HA, thats a laugh. The isolated criminal and occasional accidental occurance of those things pales in comparison to what they do amongst themselves in those countries the US is engaged. Cherry picking news and distorting their signifigance and relationship is just disinformation and should be considered an act of war during a time of war.

    No. The folks in combat in Afghanistan are soldiers. The Muslims in America are defenseless men, women and children.

    Albert,

    For once I must agree with you. However, bear in mind that the Afghans have never been defeated and the US is headed for another humiliating defeat like that in Vietnam.

    I am glad at least some people know the truth about why Al Qaeda attacked the US.

    I find it disturbing that the more I am on this blog, and see the different countries represented here....countries that America has supported, sometimes both militarily and through charities, and foriegn aid from American citzens....the more I see the sickening and disgusting way our soldiers, and our country are disgraced.

    I propose that we do not save the ass's of the people in other countries who do not appreciate a thing that America does for this world. We will just concentrate on keeping our homeland safe and you people in countries such as Lebanon, you can keep hezbollah (see how well that works out for you) and for God's sake Fight your own battles from now on....find your own food, water and clothing. We should shut down all foriegn aid, and bring back our soldiers from muslim countries immediately...send them directly to our borders.

    I am not hating on the United States or most of its soldiers (who I think deserve complete respect). however, you have warped view of history. The American Government has throughout its history supported the antithesis of democracy in the name of protecting corporate interests abroad. The US government has overturned democratically elected governments abroad and has itself engaged in state supported terror.

    Here are some links just after a quick search:

    I grew up loving America, and still root for it, however we must view its history objectively.

    I was there sonny. The US Militray was humiliated and defeated by VC koolies. Stop listening to the GOP spin-doctors who attempt to fill the void in the heads of their followers with lies. The USA LOST !

    58000 men died for nothing, and several were my close friends.
