Fu to us foreign policy

[Arthur Dent]

but these are the same people who were celebrating in the streets on sept 11.

Why? Because we payed for the bullets that killed their brothers. Not to hard to imagine why they'd hate the U.S. I don't hate them for it. I pity them.

Think about this. Why are Arafat, Bin Ladin, and all the others so successful at recruiting? I mean, if someone came around and tried to start a new Christian Crusade or something, 98% of the population would tell them to go fuck themselves. (You always get a few who want to run off and join a cult or become skinheads.) Why? becasue we're prosperous and happy.

(Most skinheads come from poor neighborhoods with no future.)

The root casue of terrorism is poverty and misery. It's a breeding ground for the discontent. Just mix in some deep resentment against someone else, a little religious furvor, and you've got a terrorist.

Then, when the people you point at saying "they're evil" fight back with excessive force (Isreal's standard military doctrine) you can run around showing how they proved your point. And the cycle of violence, and fresh recruits, begins.

Isreal will NEVER solve it's problems by rolling in tanks and blowing up buildings. NEVER.

where's the world crying for them? why is it only when israel goes in, do they say something??

Because people only take interest when things are blowing up. You don't see any outcry over the poverty in Africa do you? Heard anyone complain about the civil war that's been going on in the Congo for the last twenty years and has claimed over 2 million lives in the last ten years?

Why? Because people are selfish and self-centered and so are governments. If the jews had picked option number 2 and set up their homeland in Madagascar instead of the Middle East, the U.S. wouldn't be giving them billions every year and if they had trouble there, they'd be left to their own devices, live or die.

The interest of governments is "enlightened self-interest". In other words, the Mussad provides better intelligence on the Middle East than the CIA, MI6, and the GRU combined. And no country wants to lose the flow of oil coming out of the region. Isreal trades intelligence for cash and support.

The only thing I regret is holding the human race to a higher standard.


And Kid, I really couldn't give a fuck.
