I think if you asked Obama he would tell you his approach is light-years different from previous POTUS.

Rampant stupidity. We had not done anything to them in 1804. Nothing. Yet they constantly sunk our ships and enslaved our sailors. So they WERE left alone, yet they continued with the killing. There are countries that have been attacked by the Muslims for no reason other than bloodlust and conquest for the last 1300 years. Get your head out of your azz and read some history.
I did. I guess you're correct that I used the wrong verb tense. I should have said "and don't get involved further" instead of "didn't get involved at all".
Agreed that you reduce the revenge factor substantially. However where it seems we disagree is how big of a factor that revenge factor is. You seem to think the majority of their attacks are revenge based, I think the majority are because that's just the type of people these terrorists are, and what their
Well, fortunately we'll never know because our reliable leaders have no intention of ever leaving them alone.
Americans are outmatched against radical Muslims. They're prepared to kill you along WITH THEMSELVES. So, until you get that kind of resolve, you'd better find another way. Fighting them creates more of them, and each more determined than the ones before.
You keep us informed about 1804, and I'll try to remain in the last century. Gracias!
Lol. So it's not ok to reference 1804 (presumably because none of the involved parties were around in 1804) - but it's ok to reference the theft of Palestine to create Israel in the 1940's as a valid reason for them to be upset. How many people that are able bodied enough to be terrorists were around in the 1940's? I must have missed all those 75+ year old terrorists in the news.
The Palestinian argument is one of the weakest ones out there.
Prior to creation of Israel, the rest of the Arab world thought the Palestinians were the dregs of the region. They wouldn't have pissed on a Palestinian if one was on fire.
But once Israel came to town, all of the sudden the displacement of the Palestinians was the worst thing ever, according to the rest of the Arabs. What a crock of shit.
Arab leaders are particularly adept at using religion (and terrorism) to get the masses, which overwhelmingly live in poverty, to focus on other countries instead of their own. In other words, the Sheiks keep them pointed at us as the means to stay in power and live high on the hog.
I just have my doubts that the present-day unrest is over what took place with the Barbary Pirates in the early 19th century. The Iranian Embassy event in 1979 was due to our installation of the Shah in 1953. Does anyone want to go to war with England over the 1812 invasion? Should we secede again and have a Civil War encore?
At this point, it's unclear exactly what motivates every one of them. The last 13 years has been filled with war and bombings of all kinds. Wahhabi Islam is an extreme version and I understand that it is prevalent in Saudi Arabia. If you kill innocent people over there, you're probably creating a future terrorist. So, roll the dice.
The way things are going absolutely! Throw some Americans in there while we are at it.
Did I say that, Dick? God you are tedious.
Just countering your misinformation campaign.
More tediousness. Jeez. The point is to rebut your baseless assertion that if they were left alone they wouldnt do these things.
The point is that their actions aren't revenge or payback for ANYTHING. It's just what they do. Their goal is a world wide Islamic caliphate, and they're not shy about telling us that. You should really try to keep up. It requires willful ignorance on your part to not get this.
The things is, we will never know if that is true or not because we tend to be aggressive and controlling most of the time too. We have never really been able to mind our business right here very well and we certainly have never just sat our butts down HERE and left others alone, so we have no idea if it would work or not! They may very well want to rule the world (I doubt the regular ol' Muslims do but the terror cells might) but the U.S. has this belief that we MUST be the most powerful country in the world... WHY??? Why can't we just be a great country IN the world? Why do we have to flex our muscle all the time??? Why aren't people wanting to go and fight in the Scandinavian countries? They seem to be quite happy people there for the most part and no one bothers them that I am aware of.
Damn....talk about comparing apples to oranges. I did give you credit for having some degree of intelligence , but that remark has me reconsidering. It is about Islam.
LMFAO. technology and military might will "trump" 10th century goat herders every day. It is just pretty tough when you tie the military's hands behind their backs.
Sooooooo would you have us go back to pre 1914 and become isolationists again? Would you rather we sat idly by in 1941 until the whole world was controlled by Hitler? Would you rather we did the same while Russia took over the world? Just a rude question.
Obviously the way we have been doing things since then has been working for you all. I just have a hard time seeing it. It's not like I believe anything would actually change anyway. There is no going back so it's just wishful thinking on my part.
