Sure, but they never liked us, nor the idea of a true democracy to begin with...or the existance of Israel. I kind of wish everyone got their way before: the US pulling out of Iraq too soon just so Iran can sweep in and exert their influence when they collapse into civil war, further dividing the middle east more so than it already is. I can understand how people can feel offended everytime the US breaks border to commit to operation but I hate to say it, diplomacy doesn't always work. Sometimes these guys need a little "push".

Did we always like them and their system of government? Did we always like Islam as a religion? I fail to see how them "not always liking us" gives us permission to invade foreign countries.
Was Hitler entitled to just roll into Poland and take over?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
