President George W Bush has made the promotion of democracy in the Middle East a key priority, saying that reform was the best means of undermining violent Islamist groups. He eagerly seized on the work of the same Arab scholars who drew up a report in 2002 that bemoaned the "democratic deficit" in a region ruled by all-powerful kings, princes, sheikhs and presidents for life. But their latest "Arab Human Development Report", issued under the auspices of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will make much less comfortable reading in Washington. "As a result of the invasion of their country, the Iraqi people have emerged from the grip of a despotic regime that violated their basic rights and freedoms, only to fall under a foreign occupation that increased human suffering," said the authors. Now where are all those "happy Iraqis" Article from UK Telegraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Arabs and Jews don't really mix over there. I think because of the fact that the US supports Isreal they have a star next to their name on some Arab agendas. Maybe the UN should just stick to serving food around the world. It's obvious that Iraq didn't obide by the resolutions that they signed and the UN didn't nothing but debate it to death. Maybe, just maybe, if the UN got involved in Iraq they could turn things around, but then again, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 arabs that dont like jews unthinkable. Oh, I didn't think Bush was Jewish. He endorsed these scholars. Oh Cameron; get your information up to date. There was no viable threat from Iraq and no excuse for the invasion of Iraq or the torture of political prisoners. Plus a whole long list of other USA government tactics that are unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Saddam invaded another country. The UN acted (WOW!) and intervened. Iraq signed resolutions and treatys. Iraq broke them. The UN didn't do anything. Here are some bags of food UN, go feed someone. The US is doing what should have been done after the first war. Saddam is nothing but a two-bit pirate whos reign should have ended a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eureka Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Saddam was a piker compared to Bush. Now there is someone whose piracy was breathtaking in its daring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 arabs that dont like jews unthinkable. Funny: I read the article posted, but didn't see any mention of Jews. Why, if i didn't know better, I'd think some of you were taking this information and using it to reaffirm your own prejudices. Could that be....?

When I hear the term "U.S. support of Israel", I take it to mean the government and state of Israel. I'm fairly certain that the $2.1 billion per year in military aid and $600 million per year in economic support coming from the U.S. is not going to individual Jews within Israel.

What does this have to do with the alleged hatred of Jews by those Bush-approved Arab scholars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
