Re: What do you think about Middle Eastern relations?
U.S.
Dominating the oil reserves is how the US gains leverage over its rivals in East Asia and Europe.
The "great game" of empire benefits special interests far, far, more than the lower classes that do the bleeding.
Out now!
And this business about how "they" have been killing each other for 1500 years is absolute crap. Like Europe, or the Americas, there are plenty of wars and conflicts, but there's also plenty of time when people get along just fine. Wars arise out of history, not some essential trait of Muslims.

What are osama'a big complaints? US troops in ME/SA and Israel existing.

You say this as if it is all ancient history that people just will not get over.
Plenty of people are resigned to Israel existing, and plenty more would get used to it, if Israel would stop expanding, declare its borders, and respect the property rights of deed holders. The occupation is an endless, current atrocity, not a fait accompli of 1948.
