As for decades of war how far should we go back?
-1948 and Israel? or around 733 BC when the Jews started getting exiled from Israel?
How about just before WW1 when Standard Oil started discovering massive oil reserves in the Middle East. Discovering that oil and the strategic location of the middle east is why western governments started targeting the middle east as an area that needed to be dominated in order to ensure western prosperity.
-First gulf war? should the USA have turned a blind eye on an invasion of epic crazyness? (in hindsight we should have let the Saudi's and Iran try to stop Sadam)
The same Saddam that was financially supported and armed by the US gov't? The west turned on Saddam because he stopped being their obedient lap dog and had to be brought to heel, not out of any sense of justice needing to be served. The US has turned a blind eye to many conflicts, they don't get involved unless they have something to gain.
-Second gulf war? should we have let a murderous ###### dictator develope a nuke first?
The same nuke they were no where close to actually developing and that only existed in the warmongers' dreams?
-Afgan war, should we have left bin Laden and the Taliban alone until they take down all the tall buildings in NA.?
The same war that had nothing to do with Bin Ladin and gave the west control over Afghan oil and poppy fields?
Islam needs to be re-branded,it's core is a very bad idea and it will NEVER be peaceful..ever! If allowed to breed the hate it does now mark my words...there will be a nuke war very soon. |
None of these conflicts had anything to justice or protecting anyone, they were about domination and exploitation. They've done nothing to quell terrorism, but only fanned the flames of anti-western sentiment and violence. I agree that the religion of Islam is a big factor in making that area the powder keg that it is, but if you were substitute Islam with any other major religion and kept the history the same, i don't think things would be that different.
