Now more than ever...
Thanks, George. No, really. Thanks.
Arabs in the Middle East hate the United States more than ever following the invasion of Iraq and Israel's assassination of two Hamas leaders, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said in comments published Tuesday.Mubarak, who visited the United States last week, told French newspaper Le Monde that Washington's actions had caused despair, frustration and a sense of injustice in the Arab world.
"Today there is hatred of the Americans like never before in the region," he said in an interview given during a stay in France, where he met President Jacques Chirac Monday.

When I'm done banging my head against the wall, I'll have some time to think about the damage Bush has done -- to our economy, to our worldwide standing (among Arabs as well as Europeans), to our military, to our civil liberties, to everything.
Ugh.

I guess this is news to everyone here? I thought the arabs already hated us and thats why they bombed a few targets.
refer to Genesis in the bible, abraham had two sons one was raised jewish and the other muslim. The fight has been on since then with the jews and muslims (I will assume by arabs it means muslims )
Now that goes back a few years before us but you get what I am saying. It is such a strange concept to me how one person can say so little and be interpreted to mean so much. Is he saying all of Egypt hates us ? Or is he up for re-election also, oh my bad ! !!
Egypt is a country in North Africa. The capital is al-Qahira (Cairo). The main religion is islam (sunni). The national language is Arabic. Egypt has a christian (kopts) minority. The British protectorate of Egypt became independent in 1922. It was part of the United Arab Republic from 1958 until 1961 and was renamed Egypt in 1971. The country is now a presidential republic where despite democratic structures there is no fair chance for the opposition.
Nuff said
