A Voice Of Sanity In The MidEast Madhouse
The man who wrote this incredible article needs to be invited to deliver a speech to the US Congress & then to the *spit* Useless Ninnies *spit* on Turtle Bay.
The column should also be attached to the forehead of every N.I.O.N/Q.U.E.S.T.I.ON/ISM/DNC member, using a rusty railroad spike dipped in Gorilla Glue?.
The World Has Changed, But Not the Arabs
“The world and relations between different countries have changed beyond recognition. In some cases even the countries have changed and a new order is controlling the world. What’s more the United Nations is no longer able to control the relations between different countries. All this is happening in the outside world while nothing has changed for the Arab World. We are still living in the past steeped in our age old traditions. Our traditions are the source of our concepts, however old. This has always led us to conflicts with the outside world invariably ending in defeat for us. Such defeats in turn draw us back from the path of development. If there is anything which we have to do urgently it is to correct and remedy this situation.
“We had to give such a lengthy prologue because the U.S. administration – which is responsible for the changes that are sweeping through the world – has started criticizing the Middle East. The United States, which is criticizing the regimes in the region and the living conditions of their people, has succeeded in its efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. This U.S. administration has the strong backing of its people, who recently re-elected President George W. Bush for four more years.
It gets better. We’ll put the rest of the piece below the fold, for those who are too lazy to click the link and open another window. 
We in the Middle East Were Moving Against Development
“Meanwhile, we in the Middle East were moving against the laws of development when the presidential elections in the United States were underway. Our thinking was wrong and we were using our media in the wrong way. We said Bush won’t be able to win the elections and claimed Americans won’t renew his term in the White House. Our thought process is still being conditioned by our old traditions… Unfortunately, we don’t want to admit the truth and accept this fact. We thought President Bush won’t win re-election because in our opinion he has led America to another Vietnam-like situation in Iraq. With such an ignorant way of thinking we brought on ourselves new defeats, proving to the whole world we are not from this planet. When Bush won the elections, we retreated to our comfort-zone looking for some new calculations which, we hoped, will be correct and bring back our old glory. We hoped our new calculations would lead the American administration to a bad defeat.
America Will Not Retreat
“We claimed President Bush will never be able to defeat Iraq and said the resistance will kick the U.S. forces out of that country. We described terrorism, which is killing innocent people in Iraq, as ‘ jihad ‘ and expected it to win in the end because it is supported by God. To support our calculations, we recalled how the U.S. troops were sent packing from Lebanon in the Eighties because of the resistance in that country. We fondly remembered how the Americans had to retreat from Somalia because of the resistance put up by Somalia warlords. By this way of thinking we forgot the United States has changed and the world has changed with it. The present circumstances in the world are not the same as they were during the days of the Cold War, when the U.S.S.R. was a superpower in its own right.
“All of our thoughts have been answered by the second term of President Bush. The mission in Iraq will continue as in Afghanistan. The American administration has stressed it won’t pull out of Iraq, unlike in Somalia and Lebanon, until it achieves its objectives and completes its mission in that country. Changing the world, strengthening relations with other countries and bringing democracy and freedom to as many countries as possible is the strategic objective of the current American administration because from the perspective of its internal security, especially the 9/11 attacks in Washington and New York, this is more important for the United States.
The Culture and Way of Thinking of Arabs Became a Source of Danger for the U.S.
“Things were easy for the Americans until bin Laden arrived on the scene and threatened it from inside their homeland. But now everything has changed. The culture and way of thinking of Arabs, and [what is happening] in the Middle East have become a source of danger for the United States. If we fail to understand the changed situation of the U.S. administration, what is happening in Iraq will extend in one way or another to other countries in the region until the desired change is imposed. The second priority for President Bush is maintaining peace in Iraq and holding a free and fair general elections in Iraq.
“Bush considers the January elections very important. If one hopes the US will withdraw from Iraq in the same way as it did from Lebanon and Somalia, we must say it won’t happen. The only thing left for Arab regimes, which are out of tune with the rest of the world, is to understand that standing against the United States is no longer the right way to show their patriotism, especially since they are the real enemies of their people and countries. They must understand the American Administration supports their people, for their freedom and human rights.
We wonder what the Massively Moronic Masticating Michigan Mammoth Masturbator would say to this guy?

Now if only the “arab street” would listen to guys like this. It’ll save them alot of trouble later……
First! heh heh
Not only should every Arab or Muslim everywhere be forced to listen to this man, so should every whining anti-war maggot in this country.
It is refreshing to see someone explain a problem with such clarity.
What have we been telling you? Heh!
Now if that infinitesimal fraction of “the whole world” the loud, lying, licentious, lazy, lickspittle, lacrimose libtards currently infesting America would only go back to their planet.
Terrific post, BC. Thanks! This should, but won’t, receive universal dissemination. It’s working people. Wolfowitz and company were right. Drain the swamp!
“We wonder what the Massively Moronic Masticating Michigan Mammoth Masturbator would say to this guy?”
Mickey The Media Whore would probably smirk condescendingly at him, call him an Arab Uncle Tom, and stuff another five tacos down his putrid gullet!
From his mouth to G*d’s ear! Finally, someone who actually perceives the problems in his culture, and dares to comment on it. May he live a long and productive life.
Unfortunately this is just a lone voice of reason. Until the majority of Arab leaders realize the truth is that they are the problem nothing will change.
Although it is nice to finaly see a small sparkle of light in the long dark tunnel toward peace in the Middle East
Hmm. I googled “bush criticizes middle east” and the first link of Bush doing that (here) says “President Bush criticized unnamed U.S. allies in the Middle East for compromising with extremists”
If not naming the people you are criticizing counts as criticism, then this guy might have a point.
Actually, the Saudi Royal Family are welcome guests at the Bush Ranch.
Snore
Mickey Mouse would probably do the following:
1)Denounce him as a CIA operative.
2)Claim that his statements are a product of the Bush Administration, which is currently in league with the Unholy Trinity of Freemasons, the X-tian Fun-damentalists and the Illuminati.
3)Convert to Islam and call himself Muhammed Muhammed.
Or maybe the Olsen Twins? A truckload of falafels? Freshly decapitated heads of Western hostages? The province of Quebec? A sperm bank in San Francisco? The list goes on…
Shabbat Shalom.
Josh Narins,
Unfortunately, that’s called diplomacy. Anyone with any intelligence at all can figure out who he’s talking about.
As far as the “Bush is in bed with the Saudis”, the election is over and Bush won.
Trotting out tired memes won’t change that fact.
Lets ignore the fact that the Saudis donated millions to the Clinton Memorial Trailer er, Library.
It’s obvious that the author of the piece in question, Ahmad Al-Jarallah, is on the payroll of the Bushitler Cheney Haliburton American Israeli Oligarchy™. I’ve got the MS Word Documents to prove it.
The real problem lies with those pesky Jooos.
sad but then the arab world doesn’t seem to want to change
Many people, both on the Left and the Right, have criticized the Bush administration and the US military for the “failure” of dealing with the insurgents in Fallujah more forcefully in April.
Although some can certainly argue that our failure to crush the insurgency right then and there has led to the larger insurgency we see today, I think the opposite is true.
I think we are beginning to see the benefits of what is probably a larger strategy at play. We’ve always known that real security and long-term stability depends on having Iraqi forces providing that for themselves. We needed to give them more time to recruit, train, and retain skilled and motivated Iraqi security forces who truly desire a free and democratic Iraq. The transition to the Allawi government was, and the upcoming elections early next year are, essential to this process.
By allowing the insurgents “free reign” in Fallujah and some of the other cities in the Sunni Triangle, we also let those Iraqis and others in the Islamic world see just what kind of government and society the Baathists, Saddam Fedayeen, and other Islamofascist insurgents would like to establish in place of the free and open, more democratic form of government the US is trying to create. Although these Iraqis and other Arabs may still dislike and distrust the US, they have no desire to continue to live under the violent, repressive, sharia-based Taliban-like government they’ve gotten a taste of.
Sure, political pressures here in the US may have helped to delay stronger action by the Bush administration until after the presidential election. But by waiting, and by allowing the Iraqis and other Arabs to see the potential alternatives, we are beginning to see more support from the Iraqi people and other Arabs for our actions than we would otherwise have seen last April. At that time, without experiencing and seeing the horrors of living under insurgent rule, the beheadings and torture of other Muslims and Westerners, and the indiscriminant terrorism directed against other Iraqis, Iraqis would have simply supported the insurgents and opposed the US and the Iraqi provisional government at every turn.
Thank goodness we have an administration that is focused on long-term goals, and which is willing to weather intense short-term political criticism and pressures to achieve those goals.
President Clinton did not. And neither would have a President Kerry.
This is a little OT, but has anyone else noticed that “liberal” thinkers tend to espouse the theory that reasoned discourse can sway any opposition peacefully into alliance? But that simultaneously, conservatives can’t be reasoned with at all? Do they ever notice this discrepancy, and further, extrapolate the possibility that there might be billions of people that refuse to peaceably resolve their philosophical differences?
(BTW, when I write something similar to the above over at Eschaton, the self-professed lawyers and other highly educated posters who claim to be progressive and embracing of all diversity there call me a stupid troll. I think their “troll” definition is too broadly worded …)
fdcol63 Absolutely. Excellent, Sir, just so.
Special Ed,
To the moonbats, you ARE a troll…you post comments designed to get someone to think about the subject, rather than feel about the subject…making you a troll on a libtard site. If the LLLs wanted to think, they would be conservatives.
Actually forming a coherent thought is what turned me into a conservative. Before then, I felt with the best of them.
fdcol63, Jon and Friends,
Even larger than training Iraqis (which is good), Fallujah the First set up some very powerful dynamics:
1) it demonstrated America’s commitment to rule of law; (even when it ‘seemed’ to go against America)
2) it was a shoulder-fake for the terrorists; they were sucked in by the thousands, they brought in arms and armaments (ONE American bomb set off 47 minutes of secondary explosions!) and they squared up to fight the infidel Americans.
3) it gave America the opportunity to trigger and follow-thru on Fallujah the Last: 1,200 thugs DEAD, out of the fight for the duration, 1000 POWs (many of whom are singing their little hearts out, providing massive Intel against erstwhile muj and other thugs) AND the demonstration to the world that Fallujanites SUPPORT American efforts against the arrogant, vicious muj and their ilk!
THESE were the victories garnered in Fallujah! Cheers for American troops and their leaders!
I wonder what gives them that idea? I mean, they cant even convince US and we speak the same language (barely, in some of our cases), what makes them think someone who cant speak English will sit and take the time to understand what they are blabbering about? I dont think any jihadi’s are going to have that kind of patience.
slowly real moderate Muslims are wakeing up. Lets hope they don’t hit the snooze alarm like so many of the LLL have.
Up until recently, Arab/Islam intransigence was a winner, and any Arab/Islamist who suggested restraint would be drowned out by choruses of “Why?”
Bush showed them why.
Special Ed, as even a brief stroll through the miasma of muddled thinking that is DU will prove to you, there is at least as high a percentage of authoritarian personalities calling themselves “progressive” or “liberal” as there is among those who comprise the neo-Nazis or “Pick-a-Color Power” nut clusters.
What never ceases to amaze me is that no matter how far behind the rest of the world the Arab nations are, they always seem to want the newest and best weapons available. Too bad; if they were fighting with weapons equal to the times they live in, we would have taken them out within days. Swords against tanks – any takers?
I know it is encouraging to look on the bright side, but for every western educated moderate muslim there are 10,000 young products of the radical madrassas; who will never learn English and never get news accounts any more enlightened or truthful than what they can get from Al-Jazeera or the New York Times.
I think there will have to be a whole lot more attrition in the ranks of the jihadists before we can start feeling any safer.
For the civilians on our soil, we must keep up the battle for hearts and minds here.
