I agree that the extremists are bigots and that you seem to buy into that with your ideas about keeping us away from Arab stuff, making you one of them.

Where would you be without your constant ad hominem?

Let's get a couple facts straight:

I have never said we should leave. I haven't taken a position. You question the motives of anyone who thinks we should leave.

One of the reasons staying might cause harm to America is because being an occupier on foreign soil will incite more opposition more attacks against us. That's not bigotry. It's a fact. And it's a reason why staying could do more harm than leaving.

Our prolonged presence could also destabilize friendly Arab governments as the area further radicalizes against us. This is another reason why staying might do more harm than leaving would.

Me pointing that out doesn't make me a bigot. But you calling me a bigot makes you someone incapable of debating without invalid logic. An ad hominem argument is a fallacious argument. And when you get right down to it, that's all you seem to have.
