NewsPoet Writes:

"Arab Attitudes"

Infidels free to fornicate.

Entreprenuers ready
To exploit and profit.

Lewd and vulgar minds
Spew filth
Into the souls
Of our beloved.

Cultural diversity
Confuses the learned
And corrupts those
Eager to simplify life.

Seven, eight, even nine
Out of ten humans
Distrust freedom
And fear temptation's grip.

Democracy is some
Crazy western notion.
An ideal no one has yet
Foolishly implemented.

The Rule of Law.
Justice for all.
Equal Rights.
Presumed innocence.

I have not seen it work well yet.
You want the Iraqi's
To bet their lives on it now?
Maybe we are not stupid,
But we have been called crazy.

Seven out of ten
Americans
Dislike the Bush War
And his no exit strategy.

Six out of ten
Americans
Want our troops
Out of there.

No gratitute, Mr. President.
No forgiveness. Not yet.
No jewel. No crown.
No American influence. No control.
No Iraqi oil guarantees or discounts.

You want trust?
You want credibility?
You want influence?
Take the responsibility.
Clean up our own mess first.

Let history decide
Who won.
At least now the world
Has one less despot
Killing innocent Kurds and Iraqis.
