Well, this is rich.

I've been listening to NBC all day and it is there implicit editorial position that we had it coming to us.

More specifically, it is the new administration's fault for re-affirming our commitment to alliance with Israel.

Why it would not instead occur to them (NBC) to take this as affirmation that we have chosen our allies more correctly and that, by action, the Arabs have proven themselves to be no friend of ours is beyond me.

I have no problem with an Arabs as a race, as individuals, ethnically. I think racism is highly immoral. But if I had to fly somewhere tomorrow, and American or United Airlines offered a choice between non-smoking or Arab-free, I'd fly Arab free airlines.
