B Sousa,
My last came off sounding a bit more harsh than I'd intended. I hate to see people using this war to advance their hateful agenda--but I don't know enough about you to know if that's an appropriate criticism, or if you're just too ticked to phrase yourself more logically... It happens.
Roadtrip,
I agree to some extent--there's no shortage of people who despise and revile America in the Mid-East (or Europe, Asia, Africa and South America for that matter). And believe me, I have no sympathy for a willingly propadandized mind. But, I think those nations that have free press should be taken to task for an unnecessarily critical bias long before we start slurring people who live in terribly oppressive environments--the kinds of places where expressing dissenting opinions has nasty consequences to your health.
In any case, I maintain that we can conduct a war without becoming the same brand of zealously hateful monsters that we're trying to contain.
