Check out this story. Apparently, a U.S. diplomat named Patrick Syring has been accused of making anti-Arab statements. We're not talking some mild mannered "You're a jerk" stuff here. Check this quote:

The only good Lebanese is a dead Lebanese. The only good Arab is a dead Arab. Long live the IDF (Israel Defense Forces - the Israli military). Death to Lebanon and death to the Arabs. Fuck the Arabs and fuck James Zogby and his wicked Hizbollah brothers. They will burn in hellfire on this earth and in the hereafter.

Wow. The worst part for Mr. Syring - it was all recorded on voice mail and in e-mail that he had sent to the Arab-American Institute.

Ouch.

Needless to say, Mr. Syring no longer works for the United States government. He has retired in the wake of this... incident.
