Powell Criticizes Arab Leadership

On a segment of Meet The Press yesterday, Secretary of State Colin Powell criticized the Arab world for their silence on the beheading of Nicholas Berg.

"There ought to be outrage. There is anger in the Arab world about some of our actions, but that is no excuse for any silence on the part of any Arab leader for this kind of murder.

"I would have liked to have seen a much higher level of outrage throughout the world, and especially the Arab world, for this kind of action," he said, calling the videotaped killing "unacceptable in anyone's religion, in anybody's political system that is a political system based on any kind of understanding and respect of human rights."

I'm afraid, Secretary Powell, that the leaders of the religion of peace disagree with you. They think killing Americans is okay, doubly so when the American is Jewish.
