John Re..I'm saying, what would happen if we let it go? Let the rest of the world evolve as it will, instead of covertly (or overtly) trying to impose our will?
First of all, the ME problems started close to a thousand yrs, ago, when the arabs life style reached its peak, and has deteriorated ever since. The simple truth is that the arab world is destitute, can't provide jobs, or food, to feed, its millions of starving people, and is beset, with an archaic religion, which refuses to change, to meet the needs of modern realities. If the US and the world, were to develop an alternative fuel, and had the option to leave the ME alone, there would be massive starvation, and massive unrest, as there society changes into a society, which will meet their needs.
Maybe help them out with the dollars we save on military offense, also spend a few more on defense. Would we still be the evil Christian Crusaders? Where is bin Ladens political justification?
Bin Laden, and most terrorist,are a tool of the clerics, who know that westernization of the arab world, will mean that they will lose their power, as many religions in the west have lost their significance over time. The clerics, and OBL hope that by going back to the thirteenth century ideals, Islam, and the arab people will regain the prestige and power, they had then. But, it will never happen. You can't turn back the clock. |
