We aren't forgetting. This is a very deliberate effort to modernize a big chunk of the world's population. There is no rational choice but to engage in trade with the ME. Their product is cheap and high quality. You cannot get it cheaper or better quality anywhere else. Therefore we are stuck transferring massive wealth to this region in exchange for our lifeblood, O&G. Coopt or face these dollars in the form of bullets later. Blame everyone. Blame noone. The economic equation doesn't change.

Back in the '70s, we had a bunch of Iranian students at our university. They refused to interact with us and sneered in class. They refused to do any work so the curve was blown since the profs were told to pass them. They hated every minute they were on American soil. Please explain to me how bringing that chunk of the word here has helped anyone.

I could not disagree more.

It is time to start disengaging from Islam period. It is fundamentally incompatible with Western values. Europe and America should imediatly halt all immigration from Islamic countries. Europe should quietly start planning on deporting muslims. I think inevitably a dirty bomb will hit a major american city and WW3 will start and end quickly with Islam being broken just like the Japanese in WW@.
