I like how you conflate all the Arabs in one neat package, which doesn't exist. Neither does "Europe" despite the Union which is false unity, btw, I don't think a French person identifies equally as, say, Italian.
My eyes are open, thanks, that's how I can the inherent racism in your words. Especially the way you equate all the "Arab" leaders (and left out General Gedaffi, because we're not in direct conflict with him, I assume, though he's just as "popular" and in your words "barbaric") as pretty much the same - despite the fact that Ahmadinejad isn't Arab, but Persian, that Assad is considered pretty week in many circles and Nasrallah is also considered a thug in many circles.
Look, it's obvious we're going to disagree and not convince each other in our view of the worlds. This is not a clash of civilizations, or cultural difference - I was mainly talking about the arbitrary line you drew between "Us" and "Them" as Humans and Barbarians, which as I've said, doesn't fly. I think their value systems suck. Touting a baby killer as a hero is a shame on them... but you know what; shame on us for agreeing to release him. We lost a bit of honour there as well.
