WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell scolded Arab governments Sunday for not expressing more outrage over the videotaped beheading of an American civilian in Iraq.

(snip)

On "Fox News Sunday," Powell said, "That is equal to any other act you've seen with respect to the need to condemn it, and to condemn it outright, and to condemn it publicly. And we need that same level of outrage and condemnation coming from the Arab world, just as it's coming from us."

So, that means the "Arab world" should trot out the village idiot to mumble a few words about being upset about it. Then, the head of the terra-ist should go on TV and deny any direct knowledge about the beheading and that it was just a few rouge terra-ist that will be punished.

Let's keep this terra-ist thing in perspective here.

2. hearing humiliating, raping and murdering their people

from the u.s. is just frat boy play has made them less likely to be outraged at what happened, just a thought

3. Colin: pimpin' for outrage in all the wrong places

Invade an Arab country, kill on a mass scale, and torture whomever you felt like rounding up.

Perhaps, Colin, after such atrocities you can't really expect the "same level of outrage," eh? The world is not America; the world is not Fox News.
