Why do you guys think that because I am Palestinian or because I am talking
against the rulers of the Arab world that I am automatically pro-Iraq? Iraq
is corrupted just as much as the other arab countries. I did not know that 
Iraq kept selling oil, if this is correct then they are cheap. However, don't
deny that the Gulf countries reluctantly stopped pumping oil to the West during
the oil embargo.

Mr. Kutaiba, I am not singling out the Emir, I am talking about all the rulers 
of the Arab world. I mentioned the Emir just as an example. It was a good example
to show that when the allies liberated Kuwait, they had the power to perform 
democratic elections in Kuwait, but instead they preferred to let the Emir 
rule again for the fear of some one they cannot manipulate might be elected.

I don't hate the Kuwaiti people, you, the Gulf people in general, made us
cuss the moment that we were born Arabs. I am in the United States here feel
more at home than when I was in Qatar for few years. Is this a way to treat 
Arabs. I hope that you read my previous article which I directed to you, If 
you did not, I will post it again.

Hayyak Allah
