Seems Mr Palma and Mr Yost didn't bother to read the original link which starts:
"U.S. and Israeli hopes of forging a Sunni Arab alliance to contain Iran and
its regional allies may be misplaced, at least at the popular level, according
to a major survey of six Arab countries released February 8."
Eric's original response, a witty, imaginitive contribution noting a variety of
factual Arab opinions, was, to say the least, pathetic. Sorry Eric, but if you
don't think that Arab opinion has any role to play in international relations
then what's the point. Is the only relevant view that of the US President or at
a push US poipular opinion? That's nationalism gone mad.
And note Omar's source:

Hardly a bastion of leftist propaganda.
