The story of chicken little

According to this study Moroccans not only don’t like America they look on Osama bin Laden more favorably. These results are from the month after I was there, March 2004.

I can’t believe that almost half the people I interacted with thought favorably of Osama bin Laden and looked down on my country. I’ve never been treated with greater hospitality by strangers. I would put Bush and bin Laden as unfavorable but bin Laden is more unfavorable by an order of magnitude. Surely this poll is a repudiation of the neocon New American Century? Why oh why can’t we get thoughtful analysis injected in policy debate? Real military folks at the Defense and the National Interest website have been writing great stuff. Those essays are so good I can’t believe they are freely available. Listening: Jerusalem - Mirah
