This from the person who said:
>Having conducted business in the Middle East and survived one kidnapping attempt plus undergone numerous negotiations with business owners on site I can assure you that the Middle Easterners do not like us as Americans, not just our government.
On the basis of what sample-size to you make that gross generalisation?
>By the way, Muslim extremists want to kill people who do not submit to becoming Islamic - period. Not only Americans are in their crosshairs, in case that went unnoticed. Look at history and you will see this is the way expansion is implemented
The only expansionism going on in the world today is from the US and its stooges. Actually the way expansion is implemented is by setting up puppet causes - bogey-men - fall guys. Demonising the other. Then fighting a phoney war on a phoney enemy.
>Oh by the way...the Middle East has been at war for thousands of years.
Yes - first there was the crusades (initiated by the west). Then colonialism (initiated by the west). And finally imperialism (initiated by the west). But at least we had the decency to wage our wars on their soil. Guess that makes them guilty.
