Arabs Still Seething

Reuters says the Kuwaiti Arabs are seething with anger and inarticulate, amorphous hatred for the United States.

“We don’t like Saddam. But we hate the Americans,” said Ramiz Abu Qweidar, a civil engineer who lives in the poor town of Jahra, a 30-minute drive from the capital. …

“The attacks in Kuwait were not surprising and I expect more to take place. The Americans talk about democracy in the Arab world but that is not their motivation. Everyone knows that,” said Mahmoud Awadi, a retired businessman. …

“It is a game. The Americans are just trying to impose their influence on Muslims. We hate the Americans,” said Salih al-Bishr, 17. …

“When the Americans liberated Kuwait my wife used to make drawings for them and I used to give them art as presents. But now things are clearer. We know why they are here. It is not for the sake of the beautiful eyes of Kuwaitis,” said Khalifa Ikhrafi, a municipal council member.
