Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Not!
We invade an Arab country and torture and humiliate its people and they did n't get mad? But they will get mad now because we turned down Dubai for the port deal? That makes a whole lot of sense, don't it? Not!

| 2. The UAE, not all Arabs. |
|
The rest of the Arabs really did not like Saddam, so his getting out and Iraq being invaded was nothing to them. Don't forget that they were a large part of the coalition that kicked Saddam out of Kuwait in 1991. The UAE is pissed because it was THIER money riding on this deal. The rest of the Arabs probably don't care as much.

| 4. Well you've seen all those pro-bush rallies in all the Arab countries |
|
including Pakistan (which apparantly is now an Arab country - cuz scrub said so). But, because of those wicked Dems and RINO's the whole Arab world hates us now.

Just that they did not really care about the US taking out Saddam. No forgien fighters came into Iraq to defend Saddam. They came after Saddam had been defeated. The insurgency is not fighting to reestablish Saddam as the leader of Iraq now.

| 5. Not the Arabs. The Arabs that generally like us (moreso than others) |
|
And the Arabs who we were trying real hard to win over.

The announcement is a smokescreen to appease the RW Congress that oppossed the deal.

| 8. RICH arabs. The rich ones who count will be mad. |
|
Nobody cares if the poor ones are mad, or tortured, or dead.
They're trying to distract us to race but that's not the divide.

.... the class warfare that is almost nascent here is ancient there. And the concentrations of wealth even more absurd.
