Arab accomplishments

Sometimes it's hard to tell when a blatantly anti-Arab statement is made by a Malkinesque Western pundit, or by a Middle East leader. For example:
"...people are always putting down the Arabs and saying they cannot accomplish anything, but look at the Israeli warship in flames. That was an Arab accomplishment."
Who said that? Rush? Coulter? Ollie North?

No, it was Hasan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, reminding us once again how the fruits of modernity quickly wither in the hands of zealots.

 ouch - sounds like the death knell of civilization when accomplishments are measured in terms of people killed.
