>>What a joke. When you find a legitimate news source, one without a specific political agenda (in this case, world socialism), I'll start paying attention.<<

Slightly different topic, but here is a (hopefully) credible source for you: http://www.observer.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12239,896589,00.html

IMHO the most important line is "What is important, but rarely understood, in the United States is that each case against Israel seems just as compelling in Arab eyes as the need for Saddam's disarmament is to George Bush."

Exactly. Agree or disagree, that's how they see it. So: consider *their* take on current events. If we could demonstrate a bit of "empathy" and try to view facts from the other fellow's perspective, surely we're smart enough to start coming up with solutions that don't have to involve McCarthyism and generation after generation of hatred. Otherwise we may prevail today, but tomorrow a "weapon" to kill hundreds of thousands of people can be carried in a pocket and the delivery mechanism can be an envelope that gets opened in Washington by somebody who truly believes she is doing the world a favour.
