SACOFTOMATOES

WATCHING OR BACK

As we start to make inroads in Iraq, we need to remember how there are still others in the Arab world that will always demonize us. An op-ed in the Al-Ahram Weekly reminds us of this. The main point I took out of this op-ed was that the U.S. needs to abandon Israel. If we do this than the Arab world will like us again. In the op-ed the writer states "How could Bush, at the Aqaba Summit pledge to preserve the Jewish identity of Israel? How in the 21st century, can an American president support a racist state founded on a religious basis." A racist state! In Israel a Muslim can vote and run for office, can a Jew do that in any Arab country?
There will always be some in the Arab world that will always hate us no matter what we do. They hate our freedom and our prosperity and we need to keep a watchful eye in their direction.
