Terrorism isn't the problem, it is the symptom. So how do we solve the problem? What is the problem? Why do they hate the US? I don't think its our freedom or our sinful ways. Is it that we take advantage of them? We do business with their leaders and their leaders keep them poor. And no doubt their leaders blame us. I'm referring to the Saudi's. The Iranian people and Arab Emerits are westernizing. Iraq, pakistan, palistinians. The more I think, the more I realize each country has their own reasons. Some have different reasons. Iran hates Israel, saudi kings make us the bad guys, iraq because we killed and displaced millions of them, or abandoned them in the first gulf war, we take their oil, etc.
its complicated. we are the superpower and probably think we are bullies, thieves and infedels.
best thing to do is develop alternative energy and they can drink their oil. We need to get off oil. And we ned to arm israel so they know not to fuck with them. then e can butt out.
oh Boo freaking Hoo... it's because they don't do well and we do... wahhhhhhhh... you will not appease or stop terrorists by paying them off or cowering to them... as long as we have a free society that does not go into their lockstep extremism, they will have something against us... and with their mentality they will retaliate with a vengeance
The best thing to do, in terms of oil, is to become more self sufficient WITH it as fast as we can while ALSO researching into the way to get off of it... it is not just drilling and producing without researching into the next generation of power, and it is not only putting our eggs into the basket of the next generation power while neglecting the needs we have now
