Western media ignore? It's "dirty laundry" and violence, it's what the media lives for!

I couldn't agree more with all the sabre-rattling here....well, I could agree more, but that would make me a "...radical conservative", wouldn't it :stunned: ?
For the longest time I thought we ought to just exterminate them...use our might for the benefit of the world.
Now, I think we ought to just abandon them...let them use what might they have for the benefit of the world.
At the risk of sounding like an isolationist, I agree with a lot of the sentiment being expressed here to the effect that we will never, ever, no matter how many lives we expend, nor how much wealth, be able to make a whit of difference in what goes on in the ME. Bring our boys home to their respective countries, where they will probably be VERY willing to confront the lady taking that photo of her son holding the sign, as well as her husband who is standing behind her taking the photo.
There's a fine line to be drawn, though...I sympathize with the friends and families of 6 Sikh (I bet I misspelled that one!) worshipers who were murdered by an American skinhead just because they wore turbans to their mosque to worship. My suggestion would be to require every ME intended "immigrant" to our countries to complete a lengthy "quarantine", so to speak, in order to give our governments time to observe them and make sure they don't harbor any anti-American tendencies....we make parrots who enter the U.S. be quarantined, why not other dangerous life-forms?
The day of the "melting pot" is over, in my eyes....don't want the rest of the world bringing their hate here, we seem to have enough to go around among ourselves....sadly :sad: .
Abandon them to their own devices....let them have their oil, I can learn to live without it...put up a wall to keep them out...give them not a penny of aid...even if we do all those things, they will find a way, honestly, to foment their hate and will attempt to injure and kill us who have a different lifestyle.
Hate...it's just what they do, let them hate among themselves and leave us alone....but, to do that, we have to leave them alone.....:thumbsup:
