I didn't make the connection......it was in the news.

these are your words

If Rumsfeld had been doing his job, they would not have had the excuse to behead Nick Berg!

You made the connection.

I had thought your agenda was that we can do no wrong and everyone is at fault for our problems

sounds like you did just what your buddy Fowler claimed mph did. Read this and see if you still reach the same conclusion.

What I am sick of is the rest of the world claiming victim status, with the U.S. being the sole victimizer. The plight of the ME people is primarily the fault of the leaders and the people in those countries who refuse to look inward for the cause of their problems. Did the U.S. exploit those countries? yes. Did we do it at their invitation and make them very very rich in the process? yes. Did the leaders of those countries choose to better the quality of life for their people? no. Do they blame that on the U.S.? yes.

I got what you're alluding to....

obviously not. in the post that I was alluding to, you were showing why they were justified in hating us. Afterall, they claimed all of SA as a holy land and we infidels were over there defiling their holy land.
