Algeria's point of view

I found this interesting article, in french, from an algerian newspaper Le Quotidien d'Oran.

This article was written by Abed Charef and was published on the 17th October 2005.

The article, in a few words, is about the american will to democratize the arabic world. Yet, in the eyes of the writer, America only offers dishonor or suicide to the countries it invades. The article quotes Syria and how America forced a political retreat. And in Iraq, the USA had talked about finding mass destruction weapons, instead of finding them it led to the country's auto-mass destruction.

America only gives the choice to submission or war and destruction.

Unfortunately, the subject then derives to illegal immigration from North African countries to Europe. So, let's leave that part behind.

It seems that Algeria sees the war with a very critical eye and a certain animosity towards America. America is a threat to the freedom of arabic countries. America, though, sees itself as a savior of those countries, liberating the people from a harsh oppression, giving them a new democracy. Well, it seems that they should have stopped themselves from doing it, if you'd have asked the arabic countries.
