Your persistence and ignorance are starting to get on my nerves.
WARNING, lots of words ahead.
“hhahahaha cut out of context....no matter how you put it in context, the words Bush makes up never make sense :)�
YAWN...once again you don’t say why, you just say it...
“and how you point out all the wrong things I say...you just take my comment and then say it's wrong...great job! I can do the same thing with yours.�
I can at least say why it’s wrong. I don’t get that much out of you.
“how can you deny that it is the fault of UNITED STATES that the people in mid east hate you? Why don't they hate French? Or Brits? Why are they so happy when they get to kill an American?�
You are fucking hopeless. I guess I’ll have to explain things in more depth to get it through your thick skull.
The Middle Eastern people that truly do hate us actually hate all of the western world. The only reason America stands out for them is because we are the most wealthy and powerful nation is history. I already fucking told you. Extremist groups and leaders are the reason for this hatred. These grous all hate the US for one reason or another.
Changing the focus of domestic problems. This is the major reason, period. The Middle East has a comparably low standard of advancement and living compared to the western world. With the economic climate of the Middle East, it is difficult to improve these problems. Many leaders simply don’t have the money to fix many of the problems. Instead of putting effort into improving situations, the cheaper and easier way is to blame the problems of something else. Why would the leader do this you might ask? So they can keep their money and power. And why would leaders ever admit their wrong or that they can’t deliver? The people won’t rebel against you if you can unite them against a common enemy. People will support you more if you are a “hero� rather than average Joe, or a sly rat. This common enemy they use is the United States. Many leaders tell their people that their lives can’t improve because the US wont let it happen. Now the ball gets rolling. Since the US is so different they came blame us for many things, wealth, technology, religion, and oppression. We are used as a scapegoat for many of their own problems. It’s much easier to blame someone else for problems rather than take responsibility. No question about it.
Supporting Israel is currently a very convenient excuse for Arab leaders. This has a relation to three things; homelands, economy, and religion. Our nation supports the Hebrews who now live in “their� region. Many are sore about this because it was their own home, now they have to share it both in economic and land terms. This creates the tension between the Arabs and the Jews. Religion is also a factor. Don’t use that crap that the Palestinians were there first, because historically the Jewish people came into that region before the Muslims. This is very little of the US’s fault. European nations are at bigger fault for starting this. But why is the US blamed now? Because we now support the Israelis. If it weren’t for us backing them up, the Muslims would slaughter every one of them. It’s something that has caused a lot of tension for the region. I can go far deeper into this, but that is another issue entirely.
Aggressive Culture and Religion. Many leaders use religion as a pivotal excuse for conflict. The commoners do not know any better so the truly believe that religion is the true reason. Occasionally religion is the true motive but that is a rare exception. You said so yourself that they pray many times a day. Many Muslims are fanatic about their religion. Religion is such a big thing the Middle East because it is one of the few enduring things that people can attach to. If you can establish the common ground or religion, their in your back pocket. You can now weald religion as a weapon. Historically the Muslims are known for not taking a linking to people of different beliefs. The last time they actually accepted other religions was in ancient Arabia. We don’t need to use Christians as an example, look at the Jews and ancient Armenians. Throughout history they have been kicked around by the Muslim nations. Don’t use the argument that Jewish people were also oppressed by Europe. Most oppression anywhere was purely political rather than religious. Muslims have also fought with the Christians, do I even need to go here? The Moors invaded the Spanish region in the middle ages, and don’t even mention the crusades. They have also fought with the Hindus and other Easterners throughout history. They also make a habit of fighting amongst each other. But this is of course is not so much of a religious conflict. The Middle East is the most war torn region in history. Religion can both be a true reason and a scapegoat. Religion is by far the most compatible “tool� for leaders to use. Leaders can use religion to keep their people in line.
Leaders can have great influence over the people, if they use the proper methods. The above reasons can create an almost universal resentment for the US, but some people take it to the next level. Anti-American terrorism is given born. They attack, and we respond. The leaders use our response to violence as fuel to their fire. But that doesn’t necessarily matter. They will attack no matter what. Even if we do nothing and they give up on us they may move to a different target, Europe perhaps? That is why the US must respond. We have an obligation to try and stop this. It is for the greater good of the world. It may seem like and impossible fight as you said so yourself. But it is better to have tried and failed then to not try at all. And even if the US fails, we have made a difference. Who knows, we may find a way to completely stop terrorism. We are ultimately trying to make the world a less violent place by taking a stand against it. You may ask why we respond with and army them? Fight fire with fire. How else can you do it? Diplomacy doesn’t always work. Saddam Hussein is a great example. We also go into the Middle East because we have additional interests in the region. What kind are you might ask? Economic. If you wish I can address this to, but I don’t want to bore you. The US is both working for the good of ourselves and others. People think we are being selfish. We are to some extent. That is because a nation needs to take care of itself. But if you or anybody else has any foresight, you would see what we are really doing.
I think it is a safe assumption that you let emotion play are large role in your decision making. You let your feeling get in the way of deduction and common sense. That is not always a bad thing, but it can be and issues in more complex issues. Just letting you know. Also, I think you, at some point in your life, should study political science. I think you would benefit geatly.
That is my speil. If you want, I can go even deeper and cover more grey area if you have some unanswered questions.
