I'm speechless (imagine that)

Here's the opening paragraph of an opinion piece published in the Jordanian Al-Dustour two weeks ago:

Regardless of the problems that Arabs and Muslims have with the United States today, the truth remains that the Americans are a friendly, honest, hardworking, skillful and ambitious people. They are a people who don't carry hate or ill will for anyone; and a people who richly deserve the greatness that they have attained through countless efforts and sacrifices throughout their history.

Wow.

Read the whole thing: "Muslims Admire the Greatness of America." (Thanks to Watching America for noticing and translating this.)
