...apparently the Muslim world has suddenly gone sour on America...I guess then it's working...the biggest plank in the neocons platform is insreasing hatred and distrust for the Unied States...which will help make the stupid Americans..the ones needed to keep the bottom line growing...more isolated, insulated and fearful...anyone expressing a simple desire to see justice done in the Arab world can now be acccused of siding with people who CLEARLY have hated America all along.

It is not a "tragedy" that this has happened, it is not another of those "mistakes were made"...it is not the goodwill of the Muslim world..or of Europe that the new world order America needs..it is the distrust, envy but mostly anger and hatred they need to keep us in line...that IS the policy..just as killing Iraqi children WAS the point...

An About-Face on America
In Arab Eyes, the Former Land of Opportunity Can't Get Much Lower

CAIRO -- Whether he's in his 18th-floor office in Cairo's World Trade Center, or at his villa near the Pyramids, lawyer and law professor A. Kamal Aboulmagd moves in very different circles than most Egyptians. In his long and distinguished career, he has held ministerial posts in the Egyptian government, served as an adviser to the crown prince of Kuwait, held innumerable positions on panels and advisory committees, and devoted himself to human rights issues. He has lived in America and waxes poetic about the color of the leaves in autumn.

But his opinion of the United States today is not far removed from that of Egyptians of much more modest resources.

The recurring image of Palestinian children throwing stones at Israeli tanks and the way such images are viewed in the United States is a major source of anti-Americanism in Egypt, left, and the rest of the Arab world. (Osama Silwadi -- Reuters)

"He deserves to be in the Guinness Book of World Records," Aboulmagd says of President Bush. "He has changed the minds of the most people, about America, in the shortest period of time. Five years ago, they would say they like America, that it is an open society."

But not today, according to Aboulmagd, who bemoans the historically low esteem in which America is held in the Arab world. In Egypt, according to a highly regarded Pew Research Center poll two years ago, only 6 percent of people held a positive view of the United States

...and so it goes...
