Cook talks more sense in that post than blair has for the last two years.

"There could not be a clearer illustration in Arab eyes of the double standards of the West than our demand for absolute support for UN resolutions on Iraq coupled with our cavalier dismissal of UN resolutions on Israel. After his capitulation to Sharon's demands, it is inconceivable that President Bush will command any support in Arab capitals for US objectives, in Iraq or in his War on Terror."

Glad i'm not alone in seeing this development as disturbing. And the quote below sums it all up for me

"That is why Osama bin Laden must be regarding events in Fallujah and Najaf with glee. What he wanted to achieve by demolishing the Twin Towers was confrontation between the West and the Arab world, and that is what George Bush has delivered in Iraq."
