quote:Actually, Scuds aren't considered weapons of mass destruction. Yemen paid for them, and while unpleasant to those who currently have a monopoly of military force, there's nothing illegal about the sale of missle technology or the missiles themselves. The fact that Yemen is buying them is kind of irrelevant, its more that the US government is royally pissed off at N Korea, and them exporting missile tech all over the world is a large reason why.

What really point out how badly the current administration is running things happened a few days ago when a ship was stopped on its way from North Korea to Yemen with a cargo of 15 scud missiles.
Now, since Yemen has been a staunch supporter of the US in the region it was decided to allow them to get the shipment.
So weapons of mass destruction are not permitted in Iraq, but they are permitted in Yemen.
How nice.
I love the US and I can't wait to vote this jackass out of office in 2004.

quote:Its actually a lot more complicated than that. Especially because you can't really lump up the middle east that easily. The general attitude towards americans in the middle east varies dramatically with social class and region. I can say one thing, you might be surprised at the depth of animosity towards the US and all things associated with it these days. Every time I hear people talk about encouraging democracy in the middle east I have to laugh.

FACT
Most middle eastern countries with goverments that hate the USA, have a majority of citizens who love the USA.
FACT
Most middle eastern countries with governments that are allied to the USA, have a majority of citizens who hate the USA.
Why is this?
Because most middle eastern countries have governments that are brutal and opressive to their citizens. If their government likes the USA, then the people see us as allied with their oppressors. If their government hates the USA, then the people see the USA as a symbol of hope.
Again WHY???
Because a hundred years ago the middle eastern KINGS were kings of a thousand camels and a hundred wives. They had no ablity to "oppress" their people even when they wanted to. Now, thanks to the west's greed for oil, we have given them billions upon billions of dollars, which has allowed them to become kings of armies and tanks and planes and bombs, but along with all that power came few responsabilities to their people.
