Iraq is a threat, but none of the neighboring countries want to actually risk their lives to save themselves. That is who Arabs are. They only care about themselves, and won't risk anything until death is knocking on their door.
It's a sad, sad day for humanity to be hearing a statement like this...

I realize that many people are angry over the events of the past year. I also realize that certain groups of people prove to be the ideal scapegoats since so many misinterpretations and bigotry regarding their cultures are evident in the media.

However, the some does not represent the whole. If we limit our perspectives and judgements on a group of people based only on the extremities that we can see (the iceberg effect as I like to call it), it is no more than bigotry and falsity.

If you recall, our country has had its share of shady happenings in the past that would entail some people to dismiss us as an evil empire. The masscre at No Gun Ri during the Korean war (where hundreds of South Korean refugees were slaughtered by the American troops) for one, proves that a country can sometimes be misrepresented by the actions of the bad few.

If you base your judgement on a group of people only by these extremities, it is called a bigotry.

Just stop it.
