Clearly we are not out to dictate terms to Arabs and we are not out to steal their oil but we have been unable to get our message out. As I recall, during the Cold War Air America Radio broadcast our message into the former Soviet Union. Perhaps a simillar concept can work in the UAE and in Iran.<BR/><BR/>Btw, it is unlikely that the main stream media will report on this story. This is why I read Joshuapundit, to get the rest of the story:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-74645783225964986522007-05-14T14:40:00.000-07:002007-05-14T14:40:00.000-07:00The US is only in the region at the pleasure of th...The US is only in the region at the pleasure of the countries where we have bases and a presence. If we are forcing our will on them, it is only at the pleasure of the soverign governments of these countries. If the US is stealing the oil wealth of these countries, it is only at the pleasure of the soverign governments of these countries. The government of the UAE may rue the day that they tried to appease the Iranians by allowing Amadinejad to make this speech. In any event, the US will likely be withdrawing from the Middle East very soon any way. Most Americans would agree with Amadinejad that we should not be in the Middle East. I think this is one area where it seems Arabs and Americans are in agreement. I think most Americans, if they are aware of Iran's position regarding the US, would agree that Iran should stop seeking the destruction of America. After America withdraws from the Middle East, we shall see if the Iranians will treat America with respect and dignity. I'm not optimistic that they will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
