Only Republicans can be insensitive or mean-spirited, apparently by definition. I've never seen that dictionary but it gets used by the left quite a bit.

“If you are just, do not fear the warrior when he walks among you. If you are not righteous, or inflict pain and suffering and exploit the weak, then fear the law…and the warrior that brings it.”

"To suggest that everything we do is because we're hungry for money, I think that's crazy. There is a lot of "projecting" going on out there. We are a relatively wealthy country precisely because we value some things above money. We aren't motivated only by money, in part because we have it, and we have it in part because we are not motivated by money alone.
This lady's comment does show a lot of what we are up against. We are taking the fight to Al Qaeda, but the fact is that many people are sympathetic to Al Qaeda, a good part of the Western press is sympathetic to them, and probably most of the arab press is sympathetic to arab radicalism.
Thats not our fault, its the reality we face. It is our fault if, knowing that, we don't take steps to deal with it. One way to deal with it is obviously to hang tough, which Bush is good at and so are we. But it isn't enough, we have get control of the culture war, the information war, or we will lose the military and political war.

I am shocked that he was shocked. I think Bush senior is naive about the Arab world.
I was surprised, too. I think he is used to the attitudes of his Saudi friends. And he is generally a nice man so he expects others to be nice, too.

I suppose when dealing with an Arabic culture, fear is respect.

This is analogous to Czech students in 1937 criticizing Winston Churchill as being to belligerent with Hitler.
If the US pulled out of this region, Abu Dhabi would be run by the Iranian mullahs and this smart mouthed student would be wearing a Burkea.
