National honor
I am still thinking about the Egyptian ambassador that was killed in Iraq, or at least that we think has been killed, by the terrorists operating there.
There has been alot in the Egyptian press about this, with many saying that he should not have been sent to Iraq. The Egyptian press is full of those that like to be loud. Alot of writers and journalists are basically opposition for the sake of opposition, they are mindless. I have even read some commentaries that basically say the ambassador deserved what happened to him. Can anyone believe this?
People have been so blinded by their hate of America that they will justify to satisfy that hate.
What was Egypt was supposed to? Not send an ambassador? Egypt is, i hope, the most important Arab country, it must have a strong presence within Iraq and there must be an ambassador there. Just because some people are against the US presence in Iraq, this does not mean that we completely abandon the country.
I personally think the invasion of Iraq was a good thing, but even if i didn't, this does not mean that i do not send messangers, envoys and representatives to that country. The Americans are there, the new Iraqi government is there, live with it, get over your paranoia, which is by the way a main characteristic of Arab thinking.
I realize that the ambassador should have had more protection, alot more protection, and the Egyptian government must be answerable to this, but we cannot criticize it for sending the guy over there.
Egypt's national honor has taken a strong slap on the face. How will Egypt respond? Will it just sit there? Egypt has withdrawn its diplomats from Iraq, is this a surrender to the terrorists? I think it is.
I am so angry i could scream. Egypt has been humiliated and no one is doing anything about it. There are some who are even still glorifiying the Iraqi terrorists, calling them insurgents and resistance or freedom fighters. Yesterday, according to the latest information, 32 Iraqi children died when a bomb went off. News reports stressed that this bomb was targeting US soldiers, as those children just happened to be in the way, just collateral damage.
What is wrong with the world? How can they justify this? This reminds me of the outcry in the Arab world when the Abu Ghraib mistreatments became public. They were angry at the Americans for what they did, not upset over how the Iraqis were treated.
Torture is torture, does it really matter who does it?
