The Middle East Hates Us!
According to surveys conducted in Egypt, Indonesia, Morocco, and Pakistan, 8 out of 10 people believe that the United States is on a mission to "weaken and divide the Islamic world." In other parts of the Middle East, feelings of resentment and growing opinions that the United States is in a war against Islam itself. Moreover, U.S. News adds that this is a good explanation as to why Al Qeada are still able to find new recruits.
I guess going to war under false pretences and the continuous blunders in Iraq resulting in heavy Iraqi civilian casualties wasn't an enough indicator. Why do you need a study to confirm what was already known by many? Many critics of the war has said before that this is a political battle rather than a military one. We lack the experience and skill to physically fight terrorism. Rather than trying to find political allies, our government keeps insisting that we shoot first and use diplomacy later. I think it would be much better for everyone, especially the men and women serving in Iraq to defend democracy, that the government starts listening to the public and experts. Perhaps in doing so, we can keep the few political allies we have left.
