Just remember that you are being shown a very small selectively sensational view by the media. It is not representative of the whole. And likewise, those people have been exposed to a very selective view also. It doesn't take much editing to turn the US into the big bully and oppressor of the world.
You are, of course, absolutely correct here. Unfortunately, that reality doesn't really take too much sting out of these selective images.

Do we try to instill Judeo Christian ideals, or humanitarian ones. For example, Female Genital Cutting is performed in 130 countries of all religions (including supposed Christian, Jewish and Muslim all of which denounce it). I don't think that promoting an end to FGC is specifically Judeo-Christian.

I may be in the minority here but I agree that it is in our best interests and the best interests of the rest of the world to remove Hussein from power and ensure that his WMD are destroyed and that the people or Iraq are free to choose whatever form of govt. they deem appropriate.

Then again, the election that saw George Bush come to power is hardly something to brag about.

Ralper - I guess I would say that I mostly agree with you as well.

The problem might be in semantics.
