It is not because we wage war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and yet continue with our lives as if nothing impacts us. Rather, their governments fail to provide for them - no jobs, no future - and when they go off to jihad, their families and communities are impacted, but back in America, they do not face the effects of war.
They are hateful of the US power, yet they desire to live in a system like the US. They desire all we have, our American dream, because their dream just doesn't work, and they are angry.
Senator, that is no reason to apologize to the world. You do not apologize for what we have accomplished. We have chosen not to slice each others throats, blow crap up, or kill by the thousands in the streets - we have chosen to progress, academically, industrially, intellectually - we have chosen not to turn our neighborhoods into shit holes where nothing lives. We have chosen this course, they have chosen their course. They want what we have, they want us to feel their pain.
They want a better life, but their religious offer them only death and their governments offer them silence.
- stop blowing crap up
- stop killing civilians
- stop killing anyone, even if it is to satisfy your sharia. STOP.
- in your elections run candidates who promise you they will change things, and when they don't, unelect them.
It is much simpler than you try to make out. I understand, your argument will be - but the US gives Mubarek $3 billion each year and he stays in power / and or any Arab leader we support ... those are internal issues and billions do not change a vote if everyone votes the other way. Choose candidates who are not Islamists for they offer you the same. The only difference is they are at the top squishing you. Don't always scream hateful slogans when you protest. It irritates 1/2 the planet. Protest peacefully and keep the 'Red Satan' and 'Great Satan' put away. Debate the issues using logic, not the poorly constructed religious arguments we hear so often (it is because it is because someone said it is, and that makes perfect sense to anyone who is rational), because it is neither logical nor rational - only stupid.
You can have what we have, but you must first stop the slaughter of innocents. Second, you must take responsibility for your actions, stop accepting the lies and manipulation Mubarek / other leaders flush down your throats to keep you distracted, accept responsibility for your failures, your lives, and vow to change them in a positive manner.
You are half way there when you understand and appreciate the above steps. Any other choice and you have instead opted for the status quo and more death and slaughter, and hate.
I hope for the sake of five billion people you choose wisely.
- because we "know how to build people's futures."
