As long as the extremists running rampant is contained to the middle east, yeah, let them run rampant. We have no right to dictate who's running rampant in sovereign countries on the other side of the world.Quote:

If we did stay out, would they do us the same favor?
I'm all for a quarantine, that's to say we send all the arabs that are currently living in the US over to their country.
It's not about doing them a favor, it's about doing ourselves a favor by removing ourselves from the situation. Why do people act so deliberately obtuse about this topic and pretend anyone who wants us out of the middle east is sympathizing with the Muslims and trying to do them a favor?
americans really don't understand the occult power of religion in the mid east. while christians make remain cool when atheists make fun of God, the muslims won't when they think you've profaned allah and it's damn sure they'll retaliate, and it's all caused by a stupid movie
Terrible plan, tbh..... how on Earth would killing a ton of innocent people for the actions of a relative few extremists solve anything? We just need to get out and STOP meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations unless they directly threaten us, tbh.... the preemptive war bullshit is bankrupting us and creating more problems.....Quote:

Just a few nutcases you say? C'mon now. lol
They are threatening us everyday.
What if London was occupied by Israel?
Hard to imagine what is it like to live in Palestine under Israeli occupation? This short film will help you picture it.
So on one hand, you argue that we need to continue to "keep an eye on" the entire Middle East like we've been doing for decades, but then you argue that "they're threatening us everyday".... in that case, what good has spending decades "keeping an eye on them" done when they're still threatening us?Quote:

You answered your own question. lolQuote:

And just to point out what would of happened if the US didn't intervene in the Kuwait invasion by Sadam forces and company?
What do you think would have happend if Saddam would have taken Kuwait?
You can say all you want about the US intervening with other countries affairs but in this instance it was well justified, dont you think?
Just let them do their thing and stay the fuck out of their business. And here's a silly approach: why not try to be friends with them instead of making them into enemies?
We wouldn't be wasting millions (in dollars and lives) on undeclared, endless preemptive wars, not to mention, no more domestic surveillance and further trampling on our liberties at home....Quote:

without american intervention, those dumbshits will continue to fight among each other anyway...doesnt make a difference...
look at the arab spring for example, remove previous regimes with new shit continuing the old linage of rule as the previous...fkn same shit, diff smell
We tried something along those lines with the Japanese (just with internment camps instead of kicking them out entirely), and it was so embarrassing that the government eventually had to apologize to the Japanese community, tbh....Quote:

40 messages and nobody even mentioned US/UK are/will be in the M/E for decades FOR OIL, with Israeli security distant 2nd.
Maybe not everyone believes like you...
WC denies that US/UK overwhelmingly priorit in the M/E is oil? :lol
WC believes US/UK fuck up the M/E to spread the glories of democracy! :lol
What do you BELIEVE, oh great faith-based/fact-free one?
Boutons_douche with yet another false dilemma, per par.... it's both oil, and being totally whipped by Israel, tbh....Quote:

So the last completely justified US intervention was 20 years ago :lmao. Who said anything about the Persian Gulf War, this is a hilarious strawman you're using to steer attention away from what you were saying.Quote:

"Hey everyone Ima let you finish, but da Persian Gulf War was one of da best wars of all time!!!"
Even that wasn't completely justified, simply because it wasn't constitutionally declared, tbh.... in fact, WWII was the last constitutionally declared war, from then on we've had war by executive/UN decree, and it's been a complete disaster....Quote:

And the only time muslim extremists have ever attacked us on our own soil, they came from a batshit crazy Muslim country our government seems to adore.
