Which is exactly why your militant right wing power approach, like in Iraq, will never work. Cause you keep killing 100 peace loving muslims for every militant one. Come on.. why not just say we're not killing ANY militants... Why not just claim that everyone who ever dies from a terrorist act on this entire fcking planet is really dying at the hands of the US?? In your eyes, no one else is EVER to blame for killing people. You seem to be too dense to get the actual fact that our money would better spend in the mid east with hospitals, schools, better infrastructure, education etc... So why aren't you donating your money in a personal check to Iran's Ahmadinejad? Would you have sent a check to Germany AFTER they elected Hitler? Maybe you would have funded the building of his Autobahn system so he could quickly move his Wehrmacht from front to front?? Why not just have the US rebuild Palestine and make it into some kind of high-tech mecca, without any demands for political change in their blatant aggressive calls for Jihad.. You don't create change by giving money to people who are ABSOLUTELY DEDICATED TO DESTROYING EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IN, YA MORON.* Especially when they money they already earn from selling oil or other natural resources and/or manufacturing, is used to increase the power of the totalitarian regime in power. It won't happen overnight but you will certainly stop turning peace loving muslims into militant ones as you are currently doing with your current KILL KILL KILL BOMB BOMB BOMB campaign. Well, since you think we're "losing" in Iraq, you must believe that ONLY MILITANTS can make a success out of a "KILL KILL KILL BOMB BOMB BOMB" campaign... Because the MAJORITY OF PEOPLE in Iraq are dying from MILITANT SUICIDE BOMBERS who's leadership is spending NOTHING in an attempt to rebuild Iraq. Nobody will take us seriously as long that continues. You've never lived overseas have you? You've certainly never lived in the Middle East. Do you know that Saudi Arabia was hesitant in publicly supporting the overthrow of Saddam because time and time again US rhetoric had never been backed up by decisive force?? Up until the day the invasion began, the Saudis were unsure as to whether Bush would waffle under international pressure. IT IS YOU, AND PEOPLE OF YOUR ILK, WHO ARE UNDERMINING RESPECT FOR THE US IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH YOUR SELF-HATING DOUBT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. The history of the US in the middle east, and many other countries, is that when we initially back a democratic movement we, more often than not, back off and change our minds. This leaves these moderate reformers to the "tender mercies" of the despotic government they are trying to overthrow and reform. Either that, or we have backed despots because we perceived a greater threat from the despots backed by Communists. People take us seriously when we display the willpower and resolve to finish what we start. All of your talk about leaving Iraq to fight a civil war does NOTHING to make people feel comfident enough to take a stand for their countries. They are too afraid that we'll pack our bags and leave them to pick up the pieces. And if you think that's a lie, then ask the Kurds and the Shi'a. We left both of them to flail in the breeze in 1991. Hawk
