At the individual level yes (and I say that working in the ME right now). At the national level, respect for us and our strength, saying what we mean and doing what we say are far more effective policies than misguided trust.

Sure you can trust them. Trust them to murder you in any way possible.

Man, I’ve got guys working a job in Saudi Arabia and I’m sending a guy to UAE next week - I do not want to have to travel to the Mid-East right now. I feel badly for them, but not as bad if it was me....

What the hell is so important about Syria?....I truly believe Odummy wants to clear all sectarian rulers out of the ME to set up a Caliphate. Egypt was sectarian and no threat to us. Libya was sectarian and once GWB scared Khaddouffus shiiteless, was no danger to us. Syria is sectarian and no threat to us. Jordan is just starting up. Yemen is already fallen, etc., etc.

Please do not generalize from 27,232 isolated incidents in the past 14 years. We can trust Muslims as much as we can trust socialists or even the current occupant of our White House.

Gun control? I thought it was due to Global Warming Climate Change.

Israel never has asked for US troops on her soil. America provided Patriot missile teams in 1991. Israel is our only real, reliable, solid, Democratic, stable, free and genuinely friendly bulwark in the region. Jordan is stable under the King but for how long. ISIS or equivalent can easily sneak into the troops as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Beware! Try telling President Ovomit that Bibi is not his enemy and Iran is. He won’t go for it as he is aligned apparently with the Muslim Brotherhood.
