22. Absolute nonsense.
*they* (depending who *they* are) do not like the West's imperialistic actions on the ME. They don't like the fact that the West blindly supports Israel with weapons, money and, more importatnly UN vetos, when it comes to the Israel/Palestine issue. They don't like the fact that the US props up all sorts of tyrannical Arabic regimes, and then hammers the citizenry when things go awry (ie; sanctions against and the attack on Iraq). There are fundies in *them* that are opposed to the west's ways (in terms of morality, etc) but certainly not because of freedoms. That's a GOP and ChimpCo sound bite that plays with folks who don't understand the much-larger under pinnings of current events. Besides, it seems to me that the events in Iraq are indicitve of people who want to be *free* of US occupation.
