PARIS (Reuters) - Arabs in the Middle East hate the United States more than ever following the invasion of Iraq and Israel's assassination of two Hamas leaders, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said in comments published Tuesday.
Mubarak, who visited the United States last week, told French newspaper Le Monde that Washington's actions had caused despair, frustration and a sense of injustice in the Arab world.
"Today there is hatred of the Americans like never before in the region," he said in an interview given during a stay in France, where he met President Jacques Chirac Monday.
He blamed the hostility partly on U.S. support for Israel, which assassinated Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi in a missile strike in the Gaza Strip Saturday weeks after killing his predecessor, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
"At the start some considered the Americans were helping them. There was no hatred of the Americans. After what has happened in Iraq, there is unprecedented hatred and the Americans know it," Mubarak said.
"People have a feeling of injustice. What's more, they see (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon acting as he pleases, without the Americans saying anything. He assassinates people who don't have the planes and helicopters that he has."
Israel says such killings are self-defense. But Mubarak said the assassination of Rantissi could have "serious consequences" and that instability in Gaza and Iraq would not serve U.S. or Israeli interests.
"The despair and feeling of injustice are not going to be limited to our region alone. American and Israeli interests will not be safe, not only in our region but anywhere in the world," he said.
Asked about Sharon's plan to pull out of Gaza, Mubarak welcomed any withdrawal that was agreed with the Palestinians and in line with a peace "road map" drawn up by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia.
"At the start some considered the Americans were helping them. There was no hatred of the Americans. After what has happened in Iraq, there is unprecedented hatred and the Americans know it," Mubarak said. - Call me crazy, but I seem to recall a lot of celebration and partying on 9/11.
I think one of the best ways to stop terrorist is to eliminate our need for their oil, thus depriving the funding they get when we fill up. Get our own oil, and let them wither.

So the Saudi Royal family, among other prominent government leaders in the Middle East, are terrorists? They're the ones getting the oil money.
U-sama's family owns a good portion of the fields. If you ask me, we went there got rid of their dictators, bring them into the 21'st century, improve their quality of living and what do we get out of it, higher gas prices, higher taxes, and lower production to ensure that the other two keep increasing.

Obama=The Fourth Reich,
Just look at the parallels of the Nazi regime and the Obama Administration amazingly similar arent' they.
While it is true that they benefit the most, they are not the sole beneficiaries of the oil wealth. A hundred years ago they could have gotten away with it, but no longer. I doubt that a single Saudi citizen even has to work if they don't wish to, the wealth is spread around to insure that the "Royals" continue to breathe.
you know what the thing that made me mad was that everyone in the middle east was celebrating like it was fourth of july or like they hit MEGABUCKS when word was that 3,000 americans were killed due to terror attacks. now im just dying to hear this on FOX NEWS: HI WELCOME BACK THIS IS SEAN HANNITY SPEAKIN WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS! IT IS REPORTED THAT THERE IS A HUGE FIGHT IN PAKISTAN AND THAT OSAMA DIED! yeah then id break out my beer and have a huge fireworks show and just go ape!
I don't give a rat's rump roast what the Arab world thinks of us , or anything else for that matter ! [:'(]
Since they supply 25% of the world's oil and we use 25% of the world's oil , and the price of their oil is no higher than anyone else's , how about we stop kissing their asses and just buy all of our oil from the other countries instead ? We could approach the non-OPEC oil producers and guarantee them a reasonable price for 10 years and stop buying from the *%#@! Arabs entirely . I think that would send them the proper message:
"Screw you Towelhead , we don't need you !

You'll also note that Osama has been disowned by his family and is not involved their affairs. The Middle East is almost exclusively dominated by authoritarian dictators who themselves are fighting against Islamic fundamentalists. They may be terrorists, but not in the modern jihadi sense. Why would they provoke their biggest client? They simply want to keep control of the countries so they can profit.
Note: Iran is a major exception, although they provide a relatively small percentage of the world's oil supplies.
Who cares. We worry way too much about the oil producers and let environmental whackos prevent us from drilling in Alaska. I could care less what those hairy, stinky pukes think and when the next big attack comes and it will I hope we incinerate the middle east until they take care of business and realize they will not defeat this country. If gas goes to ten bucks a gallon then we will just have to suck it up and make some changes. Better than kissing the butt of a bunch of murdering pukes who hack our people up and have a party over it.[>:]
Take a guess what very right wing conservative recently called the united states "An imperialist like colonial England but covers it up with the facade of terrorism fighting"
