TM7, I will have to disagree with you on the innocency of the Muslim. Their doctrine is to convert or kill the infidel. It is in the Koran, and is common knowledge. To say however, that we have not meddled in middle eastern affairs is a gross understatement. We are trying to FORCE western culture, and DEMOCRACY
on a theocracy based religion that wants know part of it. We at home buy the U.S. spued propaganda that they do, when there is not one such government in all truly Muslim countries. When Turkey is held up as such it is truly laughable.
It is also frustratingly perplexing to me that someone will recognize the attitude of the Muslim, and then blindly follow Washington propaganda that we are going to establish a democracy in such a nation. It is also equally puzzling for someone to say that al queda was active in Iraq BEFORE we took Hussein down, when if they were, it was on such a minuscule scale, to the point of being un-noticeable to the rest of the world. They are there NOW because it is a good place for them to shoot Americans, and since Iraq has been successfully DE-stabilized will most likely remain, until the Iraqi's get tired of them.
Bombing Mecca will NEVER happen, as we are in bed as a country with the Saudi's whom are at the bottom of much of our problems, in the middle east, combined with our own government's self-righteous feeling of the IMAGINED RIGHT to impose their will on others.
As far as Palestinian APARTHEID, and ANNEXATION, if you are referring to Israel being the bully, I would again disagree strongly. The Palestinians have been trouble makers for years, with the late Arrafat as their thug, thief leader. They never owned what they claim to, and the rest of the world knows it. They are Jordanian by decent I believe, and not even that country wants them. They are supported and armed by other Muslim countries that want the Jew, and Christians wiped off the face of the earth. One must ask oneself, how does a people (the Palestinians) live, fight, and arm themselves, when they produce NOTHING, in the way of value. They are merely a hate guided instrument of war, designed and manipulated to harass and eventually destroy the Jew and the Christian.
