Most Americans don't realize that we do have real allies among Muslim nations. Unfortunately, the press only focuses on the ones we are having disputes with. Oftentimes, the press will make a minor issue into something much more.
AC:
Welcome, my friend! I hope you're doing the best you can.

Oh, I don't know about that one, AC. That is questionable, to say the least. Their friendship, inasmuch as it exists at all, exists because the powers that be in the Gulf like to be protected by American power - protected, that is, from being overthrown by the people.

I would have thought the opposite is true: the liberal press play down many of the disputes. Look at the BBC as a case in point!
Mussolini:
