IU bud sez:
"We should just be nice and the terrorist won't kill us. Even better is if we would just all convert to Islam, ISIS would leave us alone and become peaceful.
What we know is this man went to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and brought back the woman he married. His wife has a Pakistani passport. At some point, they acquired legal weapons and had 1,400 rounds of ammunition, bomb making supplies, and bombs including one rigged to work with a remote control car. Did he do this on his own with the help up the internet, or was he part of a network. That is really all that is left to find out.
We can't prevent individual people from becoming radicalized by Islam, racism, or any other belief or cause. Several of these killers have been mentally unstable, or losers that felt wronged. "
That's not what I am saying at all, bud. Frankly, I am tired of spelling out how stoooopid American Middle East policy is. It is obvious to anyone how counterproductive it is. Let's say Obama orders a drone strike to kill the 16 year old son of a radical and the drone blows up an internet café in Yemen with 30 other kids in it. Now, as a parent, if my kid was in that café and got, I absolutely guarantee you I would get my revenge one way or another on the country responsible. This actually happened by the way. The best part of the story was the kid was a US citizen, and guaranteed by the Constitution to get a trial, but hey...let's execute him along with a bunch of innocents.
But no matter the President, no matter what party, this stupid bullshit has been going on for almost 70 years. Then we scratch our heads and wonder why they hate us so much.
