This misses the point. The freedom hating Islamofascists have and always will hate us -- for our freedom (duh). Our actions are entirely irrelevant, because the "Arab Street" is not comprised of people with opinions that can be swayed in one direction or another by U.S. action (or the exercise of restraint), but is rather a solid mass of shrieking fanatics who lust (lust! I say) for our blood. See, e.g., Pony Trekker for suggested approaches to this seemingly intractable problem.

They don't hate our freedom as much as they hate our standard of living.
Everyone has a price. Give them cheap leased German cars, a robust housing market, flat screen televisions and 401ks and they'll be our bestest ever friends.
