US have spies in those countries as well, of course. Each side makes best efforts to crack down the other side’s spy ring. No doubt about it. All US citizens should be glad to learn the news the country has cracked down a foreign spy ring, including the one from China. Speaking of spies, the most dangerous threat to US today is from inside not from outside, as more and more evidences show. Especially those come from the so called the closest US ally whose people (many were born in the US) work in many US government and arm force key positions. And whose spy activities are deepest and most vicious. >>Mr Pollard, an American-born Jew, spied for Israel when he was an employee at the US defence department, passing thousands of documents to Israeli agents.<< Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the time demanded Clinton to release Pollard. (please note that at first, Israeli leaders claimed Pollard was part of a rogue operation, but later took responsibility for his work. Now the Prime Minister demanded US to release the criminal). (And please observe the picture in the bbc link below for a second how bossy your prime minister looked in front of the US president whose country had saved Israel from being destroyed and given billions of dollars to your country each year for the past several decades and continues to do so. And BTW, that’s not the only bossy picture by accident, we can often see similar video pictures like that on TV news reports. What’s happening around keeps reminding me of the “The Farmer and the Snake” Aesop Fable).news.bbc.co.uk Just a couples of more links among many: >> The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said. <<abcnews.go.com newsmax.com P.S. This thread is about a foreign nation and its followers pushing US to fight wars in the Middle East. Your last post was off topic, and should be discussed in other thread. But still I answered it this time.
