#1 good luck to this guy - i hope he can put to rest the idiotarian claim that the US is anti-arab, as well as the far right wing claim that Arabs cant be patriotic Americans.

#2 The claim isn't that all Arabs are unpatriotic, but that a significant minority of them are. In an age of WMD proliferation and nihilistic mass murder by Arabs/Muslims, limiting Arab/Muslim immigration is a matter of life and death for the residents of large American cities. John Abizaid is not the typical Arab - he is Lebanese Christian, whereas the vast majority of Arabs (including the ones eligible to come here) are Muslim.

The far right wing doesn't have any problem with Arabs. After all, Arabs are doing what white supremacists have always wanted - snuffing out Jews.

*Other prominent Lebanese Christians who have worked for the Federal Government include Donna Shalala and Spencer Abraham.

#3 There is a significant number of Lebanese at least between the Christian who remind they are the descendant of Phenicians and NOT Arabs.
