Israeli Arabs Condemn US Policy

...Arabs condemn US policy:
"Talab al-Sana, a member of the Israeli parliament, said protesters had wanted to show solidarity with their fellow Arabs and demonstrate anger at what they regard as US hypocrisy.

'The American policy is feeding the anger, the sense of depression and the extremists among the people here,' he told AFP.

'It is a case of double standards by the Americans. On the one hand they talk about freedom and they think about bombing Aljazeera; they talk about democracy and they occupy Iraq and threaten Syria.'"

Funny, we also talk about freedom while instituting the Patriot Act, supporting American troops while cutting veteran benefits and undersupplying armaments, educating our kids while underfunding No Child Left Behind and student loans--does anybody else see a pattern here? Does it seem like the good old boy's line "You lie and I'll swear to it" is the President's unspoken motto?
