Author’s Note: the following editorial contains mildly offensive language. Given the subject matter, the author is sorry that it does not contain highly offensive language.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. The pictures of those “abused” prisoners have been plastered all over the front pages of papers around the country. Some of my conservative friends have interpreted the excessive coverage as proof that papers like the New York Times are actually rooting against America in its current war on terror. Even those who aren’t willing to go that far say that such coverage is helping the enemy to recruit a new generation of terrorists to inflict harm upon our troops.

Despite these views, I have decided to make a formal public apology to the entire Arab world in the aftermath of Abu Ghraib. It is my hope that the following apology will help bring some clarity to the situation and, who knows, maybe even lasting world peace:

Dear Arabs,

I am truly sorry that Americans decided to take up arms and sacrifice their own youth in the defense of Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the first Gulf War. After we clear up this mess in Iraq, we will refrain from any such activity in the future.

I am truly sorry that I did not hear any of you call for an apology from Muslim extremists after 911. After all, the hijackers were all Arabs.

I am truly sorry that Arabs have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships throughout the Middle East. I am also sorry that the “leaders” of these nations drive their citizens into poverty by keeping all of the wealth in the hands of a select few.

I am also sorry that these governments intentionally breed hate for the U.S. in their religious schools while American schools do the exact opposite.

I am sorry that Yasir Arafat has been kicked out of every Arab country and has attached his name to the Palestinian “cause.” I am also sorry that no other Arab country will offer nearly as much support to Arafat as we offer to them.

I am sorry that the U.S. has continued to serve as the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arab nations while wealthy Arab leaders blame the U.S. for all of their problems.

I am sorry that left-wing media elites would Rather (pun intended) not talk about any of this, thereby perpetuating your anger towards us. It’s probably really bad for your blood pressure. I am also sorry that most of you lack the medical resources to measure your blood pressure. And, of course, I’m sorry that few of you have indoor plumbing. That’s bad for your health, too.

I am sorry that the U.N. cheated so many poor people in Iraq out of their “food for oil” money so they could get rich while the tortured, raped, and poverty-stricken citizens of Iraq suffered under Saddam Hussein.

I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers after their children are blown to pieces in pursuit of Arafat’s “cause.”

I am sorry that these homicide bombers have as little regard for babies as the local office of Planned Parenthood.

I am sorry that so many people are unable to differentiate between the gang rape rooms and mass graves of Saddam Hussein on the one hand, and the conditions of Abu Ghraib on the other.

I am sorry that our prison guards do not show the same restraint that Arabs show when their brothers in arms are killed. By the way, you shouldn’t be sorry about that.

I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state. I am sorry we have not yet dropped at least 100 Daisy cutters on Fallujah in order to stop that effort.

I am also sorry that cleaning up the mess in Iraq is taking so long. It only took Saddam Hussein about 30 years to accomplish all he did in the realm of human rights. Come to think of it, that’s about ten years less than the duration of our War on Poverty in the U.S. Come to think of it, I’m sorry we haven’t sent all of our gang bangers from South Central Los Angeles to Fallujah.

I am sorry that every time the terrorists hide, it just happens to be inside a “Holy Site.”

I am sorry that Muslim extremists have not yet apologized for the U.S.S. Cole, the embassy bombings, and for flying a plane into the World Trade Center, which collapsed in part on Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which is one of our Holy Sites.

I am sorry that we have not taken a portion of the diet of Michael Moore and shipped it to one of your starving villages in the Middle East. You need it Moore (pun intended) than he does.

I am sorry that your only supporters are professors, journalists, and other assorted leftists who also support homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, partial birth abortion, and everything that you abhor in this world. I am sorry that everyone else in America is against you.

Finally, I am sorry that I am going to have to end this apology by asking you to kiss the right side of my conservative butt. I’m probably just having a bad day.

For that I am truly sorry.

You gotta love this. Mike makes the point of making sure that the true light of most fo the points he makes comes out of the dirt that have heaped on it from all kinds of sources.

Gee... it appears that you have forgotten the distinction between a government and the people. I try, the best I can, to remember that simply because I don't agree with what a government does doesn't mean that they people that they govern are the same.

Or that if their president is a small minded redneck, so are his 'people'.

Shame to have someone prove me wrong.

This thread shows all that is wrong with the common American Joe. ShadowWar you're patriotism is to be commended since I consider loyalty the most important of traits. That said, I have to tell you how funny the thread actually was. I smiled the whole way through.
**I am truly sorry that Americans decided to take up arms and sacrifice their own youth in the defense of Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the first Gulf War**
Does anyone recall Clinton saying he's intervening to rise up and defend Muslims? The 1st Gulf war was in defence of Muslims? ? ? ?
**I am truly sorry that I did not hear any of you call for an apology from Muslim extremists after 911. After all, the hijackers were all Arabs**
I am truly sorry your leaders never asked for an apology or for a terror crackdown from Saudi Arabia, the US's ally, after all, 15 of the 19 terrorists were from Saudi Arabi.
**I am also sorry that the “leaders” of these nations drive their citizens into poverty by keeping all of the wealth in the hands of a select few.**
Holy fucking shit man have you ever heard of George Bush? I swear because of this thread being listed as having adult content.
**I am sorry that so many people are unable to differentiate between the gang rape rooms and mass graves of Saddam Hussein on the one hand, and the conditions of Abu Ghraib on the other.**
So you're one of the select few who say there's good torture and bad torture. I tell you now I kind of wish cancer of the eyes on you for that.
**I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state**
The reports of the phantom foreign terrorists is a drone froth-at-the-mouth issue. There is no credible account of these so-called fighters. Most Iraqi's who speak out say there's no foreign fighters fighting alongside them during the sieges and firefights. It's a myth that serves the US quite well. Remember the US says Iraq welcomes them with open arms. How could they say the fighting is homegrown?
**I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers after their children are blown to pieces in pursuit of Arafat’s “cause.**
Now you're out of line. That's a bullshit statement crafted to generalize and to spread the polluted waters. Name those Arab governments. I know of one. You make it cound like de facto policy.

Shadow, I could go through the entire article and pick out all the flaws, but what would the point be? It's your opinion - one that you're entitled to, and one that I doubt any form of evidence is going to change. Just as you won't change my opinion of your President. So I'm sorry for sticking my head in where it's not welcome.

Wow, strong article. It's refreshing to see people like you radiating love and tolerance to counter these hateful Arabs! If only the rest of the world had such insight this surely would be a better place to live...

OK so who were we defending, the sheep??

OK they were still Muslims and no Muslims called for an apology from anyone, actually they celbrated in the streets.

If your trying to say Bush is keeping money out of the little guys hands you must be on welfare. I work for a living and have no problem living. Plus last time I checked Bush hadn't built 14 palaces. Yet..

And I wish you calrity of sight so you can see what a little minded comment you made. Yes there is a world of difference in mass murder and humiliation.

I think you need to check you facts. In actuallity there have been many foriegn fighters confirmed killed in these battles and many from surrounding countries. What rock are you living under??

I'M out of line??? You didn't even read the fact I DID NOT WRITE THIS! ONLY WISH I HAD. Read the whole post. But if I had been lucky enough to write this I would say in answer, you admit that one does it onpenly, maybe others?? PLO? Iran? I don't know but would not put it beyond them.

It was a commentary written by someone speaking what they feel, I said I liked and posted here and you have a flame out..lol don't be so thin skinned. Have a beer and take a breath and relax.. Alah loves you.

Wow, strong article. It's refreshing to see people like you radiating love and tolerance to counter these hateful Arabs! If only the rest of the world had such insight this surely would be a better place to live...


Glad you see the light Corio..

Theres more, search engine showed 280,000. As for one of the comments before by mikimouse, I really am not frothing at the mouth. Actually from the responses and language one might actually accuse you of that but I know better. Your a calm collected adult who likes to discuss issues, not rant.. oh sorry thats someone else.. ROFLMAO.
