Arab Anger Watch

You may not have thought it possible, but the Associated Press wants you to know that Arab Anger at US Is Mounting.

WASHINGTON - Egypt’s president says Arabs hold a “hatred never equaled” toward America. Jordan’s king abruptly postpones a visit to the White House. And those are among the United States’ best friends in the Arab world.

The war in Iraq, and a shift on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, has left the Bush administration facing growing hostility and an estrangement from friends across the Middle East.

“There is enormous anger in the Arab world that needs to be dealt with,” said Nail Al-Jubeir, a spokesman for the Saudi embassy in Washington.

The White House minimized the problem Tuesday, saying President Bush did not feel snubbed by King Abdullah II’s decision to leave the United States early and skip a planned meeting with Bush at the White House this week. Spokesman Scott McClellan said the meeting was merely postponed until May and chalked it up to “domestic issues” in Jordan.
