Desert Rose
Instapundit linked up a nice story that seems to indicate they don't all hate us:
I felt more welcome traveling in Tunisia than anywhere else I've ever been in my life. Partly this is no more than the legendary Arab hospitality, which I'm happy to report is alive, well, and understated. Even so, I'm more convinced now than before that the Terror War is strictly ideological. It has little or nothing to do with any clash of civilizations. If Tunisians thought me their enemy they chose a peculiar way to express it.
Of course they don't all hate us. Surely no one thinks that.
But the ones that do - and are actively seeking to kill us - are the ones we need to encourage to die for their cause first.
Yeah, it's really that simple.
