These arabs are a bunch of two-faced cowards if you ask me. At one hand they do everything possible to please the US. Publicly they condemn the actions of the US and demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of US and British forces from Iraq.

if they are really this serious then they should declare war on the US.

lining up behind iraq, from behind a sand dune.... Really these governments just fear the angry mobs in the streets.... Apparantly something is wrong with the distribution of wealth in the arab world.

Cowards!!! They're not cowards!!! The cowards are countries like Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Australia and other nations who back the USA because of the economic benefits when the vast majority of these "democracys" oppose this illegal war. Look at the anti-war demonstrations all over the world and even the riots in Madrid - the people of these coutries are deeply ashamed to support the States.

These Arab nations are the only ones who have the guts to stand up for the UN and International Law.

And to suggest that any nation is going to wage war on the only remaining super power is riduculous!!! Just cause a country doesn't support the USA's policy doesn't mean you have to sink to it's low, low level!!! And war/bullying is the lowest level of winning an argument!!!

Oh no, the last time they declared war on the US (1967) and declared publically that their mission is to throw Israel in the sea, they were humilated in six days and suffered unbelievable damage and fatalities. Israel occupied third of Egypt. It took later a two faced smart arab leader, Saddat, who worked quitely and restrained from displaying emotion and anger againest US to get his land back. He signed peace treaty with Israel, and to this day, despite of what he did for his country, he's viewed as a traitor. The politics of the arab world is extremely tricky.....It's not a simple game.

The stance of the Kuwaiti government, and any Arab government supporting the occupations is politically untenable. There will be hell to pay from the outrage of their citizenry. (previous discussion) (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17938)

This will not be a war of Arab regular armies vs. the coaggression forces. A "guerilla" and "terrorist" response is gaining momentum that will never lack new conscripts, for as long as it takes to throw off this profound foreign affront to the Arab world.
