Tonight I watched this:

Syrian protesters in Hama greeted the American ambassador with flowers. The Palestinian in Canada, like most Sunni Arabs everywhere, presumably support the protesters in Hama. At the same time a large number of them condemn or have condemned Iraqis who want normalized relations with the US. There are US embassies in every Arab capital now, yet only Iraqis are condemned for it. I wonder if the munafiqeen know they are munafiqeen.

Mojo,
I dont support Bashar Alassad but at the same time I dont support the American conspiracy in Syria to try to hijack popular protests.
I support the protests, but recently I was asked to participate in a protest calling for "international reaction" (code word for NATO occupation) and I said you guys are no better than Assad is if you want your country occupied by NATO.
I hope that clarifies my position
In terms of having relations with the Americans, im not against having relations with the the American PEOPLE.
In terms of having relations with a government with an aggressive colonialist foreign policy, they should be kicked out and denounced with no secret bases or embassies that function as spy centres.
Mojo,
I'll tell you what. lets test my theory. How about you go to any Arab town/village in Iraq, and start waving the American flag without the backing of the puppet forces, and see what happens to you in the next 30 seconds. Scenarios:
A) You will get lynched
B) they will throw you over their shoulders and celebrate with sweets and flowers
So if I share my honest opinion with Iraqis and say that Iraq should maintain diplomatic ties with the US and that US embassy staff in Baghdad should not be considered occupiers, that is like waving the American flag?
Those Syrians were throwing flowers at the US ambassador in Damascus. They love America.
Your bad Mojo, bad, bad, bad.
Being Iraqi I've heard this argument made before but never stated as well as you did in this post, Mojo :)
Shukren, Hawraa:) Also read Starbucks in the Arab World if you haven't already.
