You don't think it dehumanizes people to call them towelheads and say that they don't think like us? Do you really know that you are being told the truth?
As for crusade, look at the perceptions - http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006%5C02%5C12%5Cstory_12-2-2006_pg4_4 It didn't help of course that Lt General Boykin used the word in public while in uniform. How can I ignore the war when I am considering how an illiterate Iranian might consider the United States? It's very very relevant. And all of this has everything to do with Bush from his point of view. Once again, I am merely pointing out that there is another point of view here, so let's leave aside my alleged "bias" and "blame." These are not my opinions. To answer your final question, though, perhaps they would still kill each other if we left. But it doesn't sound as though you would consider this a problem. And we would no longer stupidly be putting our heads on the block for what does not concern us as a country. We won't though, because there are profits to be made. Dana >Waaaaait a minute here.
