Re: Why isn\'t anyone called on these simple points?
A history of purposely destabilizing their countries and oppressing their people is why they hate us, and why 9/11 wasn't stopped. Look back to 1953 when we overthrew Iran's democracy and installed a brutal dictator who would give us oil as an example.
Yeah, I guess if furthering our short-term oil interests is your only goal then it's brilliant. If protecting the American people is though then it's stupid. Even we can't take on the whole world, and we certainly can't stop terrorist plots without the cooperation of many other countries. I swear old men who can't adapt from the old outdated isolationist mind-frame are going to be the death of us.
