You have got to be kidding

Thanks to a Drudge link, I read this story about the Belgian prime minister's recent comments on the US. PM Guy Verhofstadt stated, "America, a power deeply injured, and has become very dangerous, and it thinks to take over the whole Arab world."

Huh? We want to take over the whole Arab world? Since when? What secret White House/Pentagon directive has Mr. Verhofstadt read which could possibly lead him to such a conclusion? We have absolutely no desire to take over Arab countries; the closest we would come to such a view is our desire to see our form of government flourish in those places, but that is a far cry from "taking over."
