"Don't do us any favors! Er... Unless you wanna give us some money...!!"

Michelle Malkin points to a survey of college education Egyptian, Moroccan and Indonesian Muslim men and women and their views of American presence in the Middle East.

After much gnashing of teeth and unanimous America-bashing, the respondents didn't seem to eager to have the U.S. "leave us alone". What they want? More financial aid.

When asked specifically what the United States should do, very few in Cairo, Jakarta, or Casablanca called for U.S. withdrawal from the Muslim world. The angriest—mostly men and Egyptians—wanted to tell President Bush, “Leave us alone,” but not many took this position. Despite the rhetorical support for American withdrawal from the Muslim world earlier in the conversations, almost none actually endorsed the idea later when they were asked what actions President Bush should take regarding their countries. The bottom line for most was the combination of American aid with respect for their autonomy. A young Moroccan woman summed up their views: “Dear President Bush: We really need financial aid, but you should not get involved in everything.”

So, they want is a fish everyday, not a poll. Too bad they don't see things more like them Lebanese and Iraqi dullards.
And these are the "college educated" ones. I guess anti-liberty "liberal" wackidemia knows no borders.
