Just maybe if we stopped invading their countries, meddling in their internal affairs and stopped looting their natural resouces, "they" wouldn't feel it necessary to defend themselves. Even the nuttiest of the bots could surely see that when you put American troops on the ground in Saudi Arabia, that you are asking for trouble. A big part of the problem is that we are only presented with one side by the government propagandists. We have a history in the ME of supporting puppet dicatorships while talking democracy. The only surprising thing to me is that the Muslim world hasn't responded even more violently.

Dick to FreeRepublic: Muslim violence agains U.S. justified.

Yes indeed.

I knew a State Department Puke who was instrumental in setting up a bunch called "Taliban" to fight Russians. Russians went home, Taliban stayed.

That Puke is well retired at Hilton Head.

"...and stopped looting their natural resources......"

Do we pay these countries for their oil? Or do we just take it, for free. If they have no market for their 'natural resources', if they can't sell that oil, just how are their lives going to be improved? So tired of hearing this liberal drivel. I'm going to have some lunch. Have fun, all of you.
