That's a very good point. It illustrates (in both cases, BTW) that U.S. foreign policy is often driven not by the interests of the United States, but by the interests of those who spend a lot of money lobbying the U.S. government.

I believe it's starting to become clear that we're now seeing what happens when huge sums of money are spent in U.S. politics on behalf of Islamic interests around the world.

Yes, the old adage: Money talks & BS walks... sometimes makes me wonder why we even vote.

But I think it is a 2 way street. The U.S. needs to stop or at least scale back its support for the Islamics in particular. W/out the U.S. support, they wouldn’t have enough $$$ to spend in the U.S.

Though that would be a major paradigm shift for the way politics work especially in the U.S.
