You "Think" to highly of yourself! Far more than the rest of us do (about you!)

The US has bases in Saudi Arabia, which is considered Islamic Holy Land. The US defends Israel, which is considered unthinkable by the Muslim countries in the area since the way they see it Israel stole the land from Palestine (and yes, I get that that's not quite accurate, its more complex than that.) The US bombed people in Middle Eastern countries, spreading massive amounts of death. They do have valid reasons to be ticked off. The problem with them is that they are just like the United States, and they fail to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.
Did anyone ever tell you that you're, quite annoying? Well, I just did!
So what. You clearly don't know what imperialism is. If it were imperialism, Americans could not be detained by their government, only our own.
You are so stupid. :nono:

Yes.
I support non-intervention but I don't particularly have a problem with Israel. They probably should not have been formed in 1948, but what's done is done. I don't endorse trying to remove them. But I think they need to defend themselves.

We had family who lived in Saudi Arabia for decades (husband was a Standard Oil executive) starting back in the 1950s, but they had to live in a walled compound, under prohibition of mingling with the populace in any way, shape, or form. Their provisions were controlled and no "Jewish" products were permitted for use. Their children had to leave country for any and all education. Their presence was merely tolerated; never welcomed. They were treated as a necessary evil by the Saudis.

To be clear, I'm not trying to defend Saudi culture. I don't like Islam at all. But, to paraphrase a pastor I know "what they need is to have Bibles dropped on them, not bombs." The way to spread Christian culture through these countries is through persuasion, never force. Will it always work? No, of course not. But force WILL NOT work and its also an unbiblical method, IMO. I don't like the fact that they think we're infidels and that they support Sharia Law, but I also don't think its our business to jam western, Christian values down their throats. I also don't think its our job to meddle militarily in the region, even if their government goes along with it.
And when we do that, we shouldn't be surprised when it ticks some people off.
Not saying you disagree with any of that, just wanted to point it out

And I am not posting disagreement with you . . .
Just anecdotal evidence that American presence is indeed resented in their country and they work hard to prohibit any taint of their culture.

Absolutely. And if we are resented there, why would we want to go over there, tick them off, provoke them into attacking us (I understand the response is disproportionate, but still) and then go to war and kill their people all the while taking liberty from Americans to do it when they do what we should have expected them to do? There's nothing Christian about it. Its sad that so many here think that there is.

Agreed . . .
It seems ( to Jim and I), that the 911 attack provided excuse to give vent to a personal vendetta (Bush vs Hussein), while providing an opening to increase defense of Zionism at the same time; strictly for political purposes, and not Godly motives at all.
But I am not too much into this stuff . . .
All I can conclusively determine (according to my simplistic and limited knowledge of it all), is that our past military tactics have solved nothing, but only escalated hostilities between the two cultures.
And I grieve for all the innocent collateral damage that has been done to both sides.
