There is so much to refute here. I'll just stick with the following:

"But the United States still hasn't proved that Saddam poses a threat to anyone other than his own people."

Anyone except Israel, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia... Have I left anyone out? I guess a knowledge of history or a regard for the truth is too much to expect from a band of ignorant psychopaths. These people wear bedsheets for heaven's sake. They smoke camel dung. Despair, my butt. When we return them to the Neolithic era, then we'll talk despair :)

Fortunately, many Arabs will not dispair much longer-after all you must be alive to dispair.

This article highlights what is wrong with man-on-the-street, Mohammed Sixpacki, Arab opinion - It's stupid. They are mostly uneducated and ignorant, parroting the opinion their leaders force down their throats. It's like a whole subcontinent full of nothing but Democrat-voting special interest groups.

On a news program I saw an interview with an Arab pulled off the street in Saudi Arabia. He was naming what terrible things America had done to Muslims, and included Kosovo. When reminded that Americans were fighting for Muslims in Kosovo, he smirked and said "Well, that's not how it was told to me."

Exactly, and the world is mostly unaware that the Arab Muslims in these Middle East Countries, are uneducated, uninformed and misinformed about everything going on beyond their borders. Some of them even think it was a bunch of Isreali Mossad Agents that flew into the World Trade Center. I got that theory from some Arab on one of the internet chat rooms. They are so backward and illogical in their thinking they could be welcomed into the Democratic Party, LOL.

The earlier they get and understand they re enuchs, the better off and stronger they will be in the future. But go tell an arab he is impotent... they have chosen a final solution for us and we will have to destroy them as a result.

"When is the United States going to wake up and realize that they are breeding a generation of people that hates America?"

I would ask: "When is the Arab world going to wake up and realize that they are breeding a generation of people in the United States that hates Arabs - and can stop their food supply?"

If it were up to me, there'd be no more 'arab world' or 'islamic world' anymore. The next big attack, I'm going to do my part to make it happen too.
