Oh really?
So these radical Islamists never had a problem with us before the war in Iraq?
Sure they did they bombed us in Lebonon when Reagan was president but once again what the hell were we doing over there in the first place? If we
werent there we wouldnt of been bombed would be?
The Iranian Hostage crisis which once again was because we overthrew Irans democratically elected government and inserted the Shah who made Sadam look
like Mr Rogers. When the Shah was overthrown and they found out about us putting him in there the hostage situation occurred.
They bombed the Cole once again why the hell is our military in their lands. If Russia had their ships over here would would throw a bomb or two at
them wouldnt we?
We need to stay out of their business. We should of let them handle Iraq like they wanted to and we need to get out of this we need to police the
world mentality or American Exceptionalism as it is called. We cant afford it because we are bankrupt and its not our job.
Edit to add: Our insertion and backing of Israel doesnt help either. In my opinion Israel through two war victories has won the land they are on but
doesnt mean people dont hold resentment and doesnt mean that it wont cause wars in the future. Doesnt mean we need to go and fight their battles
either. They want the land so bad then let them fight for it like they have in the past.
