Catch 22. The world is not a collection of nations. We're all so far up each others arses that you can't tell where one nation starts and another one ends. And that is why your embargo idea is pure fantasy. You can't ignore more than a sixth of the population of earth, especially given what they're sitting on top of.JohnG@lt wrote:

You guys act like it's all Muslims
Most mainstream muslims, Sunni or Shiite, are as peaceful as you and I. Wahhabists tend to be the ones doing these sorts of things. So you are going to blockade the entire middle east just to punish no more then 1% of Muslims? Do you listen to yourself? Yeah let's cut off 1/4 of the world from the other 3/4 because some people in that 1/4 just can't play nice

It is the same fucking rhetoric that Hitler blamed the Jews on everything. Farming not going good? THE JEWS! Business not going well? THE JEWS! Your son died of heroin addiction? THE FUCKING JEWS.
So why are the Islamics attacking America and its allies, and no-one else?

If Israel weren't given a helping hand by Uncle Sam, there would be a second holocaust within ten years.
If you want to fuck the middle east, start using alternatives to oil. Its not like you can't make money from it.

Seeing a pattern yet? Or is your ignorant indoctrinated mind too closed?
Fuck Israel
It's not necessarily in that way. The US has done quite alot of meddling in the Middle East to secure Oil and all that shit. When you add into the fact that it's a massive Israel ally, that just makes it that much worse for the US themselves in terms of being the "enemy", moreso than most other countries. Before all the Israel shit started, there was no real tension between the Muslims and the US. They were both on good terms.Cybargs wrote:

You're not going to get any "solution" to the problem in the way that the Jews had a "solution", because it's not like all the Muslims are in Europe or America and have no country or army of their own. The Jews were defenceless. Hence why what happened, happened. You'd never get something like that with the Muslims, no matter how many people wish for it to. Even some sort of blockade like Galt wants, not exactly going to work in this globalised world. And the US/Western world would never do something like that, not when it constantly preaches its moral superiority over the rest of the world, both through the governments and the population themselves for the most part.
I think, at the end of the day, the only way this shit will really stop is when the oil runs out. Or the US doesn't need to care/meddle in the region because it no longer needs it. Even then, the Israel factor will still probably go on for awhile. That will probably be the main reason why the US is going to be a target for terrorism for a long time to come.
You can talk about developing the poorer Muslim countries so that there's less stupid rednecks willing to go on Jihad and all that shit, but even then you're always going to still have all that tension. This shit is going to last for a long time still.
In terms of the UK being a target of Islamic terrorism, it's probably more simple. We're not really a big Israel ally, all we need to do is distance ourselves from the US, probably grow closer to the EU. There's a much bigger chance of reconciliation between the EU/Muslim world than there is with the US.
If we didn't go to Iraq, which really pissed some people off, I don't think we'd be such a big target for Islamic extremists.
We need to just move from all this bullshit and focus towards our economy instead. Imagine how much we could have saved if we hadn't gone to those two wars. Economically, and Socially. You'd hardly have all this tension between Muslims and everyone else.
It's not like the US couldn't have done Afghanistan on its own if it really wanted to.

You can't declare a war on a religion when millions of them are living within our countries already and are tied to us financially. It's not feasible.
But then people would bitch about big brother. You can't pick and choose. You either let people be more free and have shit like this (or worse) happen, or you amp up security measures at the risk of having the ACLU up your ass.Poseidon wrote:

Second of all, how the fuck can someone sneak a bomb onto a plane with current fucking security checks. Hell they even took my friend's toe clippers on a flight to Singapore.
