I bringing this thread back to life, as I am curious to what all the nay sayers feel now that Iraqi citizens are dancing in the streets, praising president Bush, waving American flags and kissing US military personnel of the cheek.
yeah, the US is really getting bad rap in the Middle East. If anything this has proved that we have had too little faith in the Middle Eastern people. We have to remember that while many of them hate us, most of them onlt know what their governments have taught them.
The biggest threat that the US can bring to other Middle Eastern nations is not in the form of bombs, missiles or oppression. This is not what makes Syria, Jordan and other dictatorships nervous. The biggest threat we pose is the introduction of democracy to to people that have never known it.
