[Vision2020] Abu Ghraib

[Carl Westberg]

A question for those who insist on condemning virtually the entire Muslim 
faith because of the acts of a small percentage of Muslims.  The atrocities 
that occurred at Abu Ghraib were perpetrated by a small percentage of 
American soldiers.  The image of the United States in the Arab world has 
probably never been worse.  How can we tell Muslims that this is an 
aberration that does not represent America's beliefs and values, when so 
many Americans are convinced that the actions of a few Muslim extremists 
represent all of that faith?  It will be interesting to see how President 
Bush's two interviews today with the Arab press are perceived by the Arab 
audience.                                                                    
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                   Carl Westberg Jr.
