If it were not for totalitarian rulers resisting popular
will, nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia would be *very* anti-US.

If it weren't for their governments feeding propaganda against the US
and Israel (with US dollars paying for it in the case of Egypt), most of
the people in these places wouldn't have any real reasons to dislike or
fear the US. Look at the recent government-sponsored broadcast of "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in Egypt, for example.

As far as that goes, try to find a modern anti-US movement in the
Mideast that *wasn't* at least partly funded by one government or
another. Even Al-Qaeda was formed and supported by a member of the
Saudi Royal Family.
