Quote: Peace In Ireland, I didn't mean that you supported them, or had no symphathy, but let's be rational, the War on Islam, has made no purpose, no sence, people talk about 911 and say Afghanistan was right to invade. Expect more Muslim nations to be invaded because of Terrorism.
Think in early 1930s the Reich Stag in Berlin (like a congress) was burnt down, Hitler then told the People that he will take control of everything to stop that terrorist attacks on Germany, and the German people believed it was done by terrorism, already they gave up their freedom and they all thought that the pre emptive strikes against the enemies will stop the terrorists (conquest of Austria to Czech republic to Poland) because of terrorism. Well Hitler burnt the Reich Stag, fooled the people and made the people support him for his murderous plans of conquest.
Dejevu? That is what happening in America, The US government has enough power for pre emptive strikes against nations, but I wont go as far to say that 911 was an inside job, only the truth knows...
Trust me, I am by no means a supporter of U.S. foreign policy. I believe the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq were both wrong.
I see where Naseeha is coming from. I recognize that Islam has a very strong "brotherhood." I, in my personal beliefs, do not see the world in such a way. The difference between my biological brother and a homeless man in Iraq is zero.
However, entertain this possibility. Would it not be better to have an outside body that understands the situation in the middle-east, yet has very little stake in it, implement a solution? Think about this: when there is a dispute amoung neighbors in the United States, often to neighbors go to arbitration where a 3rd party who is as impartial as possible mediates and negotiates a deal. As Naseeha says, both Jews and Muslims are enraged with passion in this dispute. Thus, I believe both are incapable of finding a middle ground or a way to work things out. America is no good either. We are too involved with the politics of Isreal to be fair. The arab nations are not fit for the job either, as they will likely side with the Muslims. Nations with the resources to mediate should do so. Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, etc. are possible options (thought I'm not sure if either of those has strong ties to Isreal or Palestine.)
Attracting a mediator will be extemely difficult if at least one side doesn't get its act together and start acting non-violently. In the neighbor/arbitration analogy I used earlier; if one neighbor is completely unwavering and hostile to any suggestion by the other side, the arbitrator with simply refuse to step in and help. This, due to actions by Muslims and Jews, is why, to speak plainly, nobody gives two s**ts about the middle-east. However, if the Islamic people are to rise above the cowardice perpetrated by the Isreali terrorist government, helping hands may be offered.
