Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Today's Lileks is good, even for Lileks. Here's an excerpt, not because it's the meat of the column, but because it segues into an other story:
[I heard an interview] a few weeks ago with the CEO of some big Middle-eastern Internet company; he said that Arabs hate the US because of the oppressive governments we support. The host asked if people were pleased when the Taliban was deposed, and he said of course not - the US was attacking a Muslim nation!
This AP piece talks to Arabs either in denial about or just upset about the impending liberation of the Iraqi people.
Abdelfattah insisted that Saddam will fight to the end. "He will remain standing until he dies while fighting for Iraq," Abdelfattah said.
