WOW Elroy, you are all over the map.
Uhmmm, the topic was killing in the name of religion, not US involvement in the ME, so you drove us off route, not me. But I don't mind you changing to your preferred topic.
How the hell did we get to that topic than?
The US pushes and prods every nation on the planet with the goal of obtaining US interests - the ME is nothing special in that regard.
I am pleased that you realized that fact.
The US didn't introduce European Jews into Palestine, the European Jews did that. Put the responsibility on the primary parties involved, not the overseas boogeyman.
Elroy, it was just an example. And I did not say the US was responsible.
I guess you're referring to the culture and habit of the Iraqis to ruthlessly kill each other in order to be in charge of their fellow Iraqi? You're right - most of the planet is amazed at the "insurgents" who would rather blow up a busload of uninvolved innocent civilians than work within a Democratic process under their own elected leaders to achieve something. That's why some call it the culture of death.
Please tell us when the Iraqis were killing each other before the US invasion? I guess if the US was invaded, you sit back and enjoy the ride. Right? you would carry arm and fight for flag and country? Right? Hell, if you do not support the troops that invaded Iraq, you were called a traitor.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. My point was that the greatness that is Dubai is not due to America except as an outside influence, and in the same way the failures that exist all over the ME are not due to America, except as an outside influence. If you want to make your point again in clear English, please go ahead.
Yes the greatness in Dubai is because the locals were in control not the foreigners. i.e. it was not shoved down their throats.
