    All of that crap going in the Middle East right now is because of blowback. America needs to wake up. People need to stop with this fantasy land talk of "they try to kill us because of our freedom or because we're free". That's crap. They hate us because we go over there and start with them.


    Follow the Golden Rule and this crap doesn't happen.

    "we go over there"

    ... for the oil and for the oilcos, not to spread the mythical American dream of democracy and freedom. USA doesn't care how nasty the govt nor how oppressed the people, as long as the addicted USA druggie gets its oil.

    btw, carbon-industries are outspending the green industries by many times this election.

    eg, Gecko wants to kill all incentives for solar and wind energy, while not touching a penny of incentives for coal, oil, gas. He's well paid for that position.

    Hoist the Flag, Praise the Lord, Pass the Ammo: US Foreign Policy

    The Saturday headline in the Wall Street Journal was: “Anti-U.S. Mobs on Rampage.”

    The next day, a NATO airstrike killed eight women collecting firewood in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, an event that garnered virtually zero mainstream U.S. headlines.

    Somewhere in the gap between these two phenomena — the overheated news about our violent, irrational enemies in the Middle East and the silence surrounding our war and occupation of the region — lies American politics, values, the presidential race, the national iden y. Beyond that gap lies the truth about who we are, and only when we have access to it does the future turn into creative possibility and peace become possible.

    so your going the same re ed way with dra thinking "if we stop invading these countries then there'll be less people mad enough at us to become terrorists."?

    they wanna kill you because of jealousy and the devilish islamic creed, and it'd only stock their evil wish instead of diminishing it if you drop your weapons and act like pussies. bring your guys home and your home will be the next battle field imho, you don't want your house burnt in the war fire so you have to send them oversea to keep the wars in safe distances from your homeland imho

    America violates it allies.

    In fact, America will violate any country.

    Italy: CIA Guilty of Kidnapping

    Earlier this week, Italy's highest court upheld the conviction of 23 Americans in absentia for the abduction of an Egyptian cleric.


    In a chilly morning in February 2003 as he was walking to his mosque, Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr was whisked off the Via Guerzoni in Milan, tossed into the back of a van and driven to a NATO air base in Aviano, Italy. From there, Abu Omar, as he's commonly known, was flown by Learjet to Germany and then to Cairo where he was allegedly tortured for seven months, according to Amnesty International, which has an open case file on his kidnapping.

    Three years ago an Italian court convicted 23 Americans - 22 CIA employees and an Air Force colonel - in absentia for the abduction and gave them prison sentences of five to nine years. Two Italian secret service officials were also convicted for failing to alert the proper authorities that the kidnapping was about to take place (the Italians' convictions were later overturned).

    Earlier this week, Italy's highest court upheld the Americans' convictions and ordered a retrial for the Italian agents. They also ordered each of the 23 Americans to pay Abu Omar €1 million and each pay his wife €500,000. Yet because the Italian government has never asked for the Americans to be extradited, it is unlikely that Abu Omar and his wife will ever receive financial compensation from the United States government.

    And dom't give me that that they can't deliver them.

    Imagine if they put them in shipping containers and detonated them in the ports of New York, Los Angeles, and the Houston Ship Channel.

    Homeland security closes down all imports. Gas goes to $20+ overnight and Walmart etc is empty in two weeks.

    I love how the assumption is that if "Al Qaeda" (as defined as whoever the US govt tells us we're not supposed to like today) ever got a nuke they'd use it immediately.

    The absolutist, irrationally, anti-Muslim rhetoric in here is -- as usual -- off-base, but if AQ or any of the similarly fundamentalist extremist groups got a nuke, you can be certain they would use it (and I don't think they'd be stupid enough to bomb Israel and risk contaminating their holy sites or the contiguous Muslim countries... which leaves the US, whose economy and defense feeds Israel's).

    Eh, they'd probably nuke India before anyone else and promptly be nuked in return ten times over.

    Why not? they aren't a nation state. There is no way to retaliate in kind.

    Oh no, people are jumping around throwing rocks. We've pissed off people who already wanted us dead. Huge mistake. Now they really really want us dead. Too bad they are too busy car bombing their neighbors.

    I guess that makes former CIA counterterrorism expert Michael Scheuer a re as well, because he's been saying the same things for years, tbh....

    Also, another counterterrorism expert, Robert Pape, did some research a while back and found out that suicide terrorism is actually statistically uncommon in Muslim countries unless another country goes to war with them....

    Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is in US control, AFAIK. The only reason them and India haven't blown themselves to pieces yet.

    The whole 'shipping containers' fiction would probably make a good episode of 24, though. Surprised Tom Clancy hasn't written a book about that yet.

    Highly radioactive material is tightly controlled and fairly simple to detect. That's why rockets and bombs are the preferred method of delivery (quick).
    Haven't read about Pakis rocket tech for a while now, but I'll be surprised if they can even reach Israel.

    If there was a revolution in Pakistan do you really think that every country in the world would have troops in there immediately to secure those warheads?

    CC, you act like there has not been military intervention in the other AS countries. India, China, Russia, NATO etc would immediately all have specific national security interests.

    The fear would be that a small number would be compromised. Now every weapon in the arsenal. Quit being a drama queen.

    True words and probably the most important words spoken this election season, but they will go ignored by the stupid American public, it's politicians, and corrupt media. Because arguing red/blue talking points are more important than the real truth. They hate us for what we do to them, not our freedom.

    Leaving the Middle East won't magically make things better overnight but it would be a step in the right direction. If that happened, I would think that overtime, things would die down a little at least.

    They hate us because we go over there and start with them and because America is best buddies with Israel and basically says you to any non Israeli Middle Easterners.

    towelheads will never stop killing until all non-muslims are killed, they're all soulless brainwashed ers and they'll do almost anything against us driven by the evilest religion ever. abandoning those military outposts in the mid east won't help better our security, instead it'll only stoke their evil desire to hurt us even more imho.

    Not every Muslim is evil or a terrorist. When you say crap like that, you're assuming that every human being that is a Muslim is evil.

    “Successive American administrations essentially purchased with American taxpayer money the dislike, if not the hatred, of the peoples of the region,” he said, by backing dictatorial governments over popular opposition and supporting Israel over the Palestinians.
