cj2112 - no of course its not wrong for the USA to work for its own interests. but to give the impression that your a champion of peace whilst not doing anything about the situation in lebanon is hypocrisy in my opinion. as for ustwo not looking at the issues at hand.. like i said hes a pretty smart guy, but to discount a whole race and side with the more powerful nation because the weaker ones are a little behind the times doesnt mean they deserve some slack.
powerclown - i agree with what your saying. the dysfunctionality of the middle eastern nations is quite evident. however, what im saying is if you do want the middle east to become an active member of the international community, we need to open lines of communication and trust. through discourse we can build bridges. but sadly in the past month, ive only seen them burn, quite literally.
as for the extreme and violent interpretation of the koran... well the people that the USA is starting to tick off isnt just the muslim arabs... even the christians in the arab world are getting a gutful. so your basically turning every person in the region into an enemy. and thats without even picking up a gun.
the USA were faring better when they led their armies into afghanistan and iraq, but now that the shit has hit the roof in lebanon, without somuch as america raising a gun, they have had a tide of anger turn against them by not only the middle east but the entire world with the exception of a nation or two.
i dont have issues if the USA came down hard on both sides..it'd serve them right.
