Some will hate us regardless, I understand that. I also understand we have killed a lot of al Qaida leadership, which is a good thing.

But the manner in which we chose to remove Saddam has, in most Muslim's eys, confirmed just about every negative stereotype about the US.

Don't think about what you know, think about how our actions are reported around the world. Botching WMD, Abu Graib, abandoning the UN etc... has done great damage to our credibility and poured gasoline on the fire of hate.

Not wise leadership if we are going to kill tens of thousands in a pre-emptive war, we need to do much, much better.
