#1 I think the Islamic scholars must have a macro written for this. Every event produces the same 'this is why we hate you so it must be your fault' press release.

#2 I do not think that we ever had much sympathy in the Muslim world. The sooner we bring these guys to the light of day, just like Bush as done with the UN while trying to do a favor for Blair, the sooner we will root out this evil and get it cleaned up and out of the civilized world.

#3 Uniting all hostile Muslims is what the US Army Artillery corps calls a target rich environment.

#4 It's always the generalizations: "US policies in the Middle East". Ask any anti-american psychopath what specific policy they are against and you get "those ones. the middle east ones."
I deal with anti-americanism on a daily basis because two of my co-workers are staunchly anti-american. The more I grill them to get to the root of their arguments, the more I hear things like "the US wants to dominate the world economy", "Bush doesn't want the dollar to fall below the Euro", "the US has WMD why can't Saddam", and of course the standard "it's about the oiiiillll". Nothing they say is based on logical deductions or inferences.

#5 Why do statements like "US policies in the Middle East have united a myriad of factions..." always seem to go unchallenged?

It isn't our policies in the Middle East that have led to Muslims lining up against us; it's their policies in the Middle East.

#6 RW and the anti-americans arguments he deals with. Their motto: "Don't confuse me with the facts."
