That's why I say that it will take decades for them to ever trust us.<br /><br />By the way, that is why Obama's reaching a deal with Iran over nuclear weapons is one of the greatest diplomatic victories in the history of this country. He convinced people who had been savaged, betrayed and murdered by us for seventy years to trust us again. Of course, in one day in office, a Republican President will undo all of this and set us back to 1953, so we can start trying to dig ourselves out for another seventy years.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-10489523801830003312015-12-24T10:18:14.035-08:002015-12-24T10:18:14.035-08:00After what we have done to them, it's a little...After what we have done to them, it's a little late to just leave the area and expect to not hear from them again.

However, Protestants and Catholics hated each other for centuries, killing as lately as several decades ago in Northern Ireland. <br /><br />I guess what I am saying is something I learned from the I Ching: You can only control what you are doing to make things worse. Western colonial aggression is a major factor in the degenerate state of the Middle East today, and that is something we can change. Let's at least do that, and hope for the best.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-90324865131388535852015-12-23T14:01:07.682-08:002015-12-23T14:01:07.682-08:00There is a Sunni-Shiite divide that has been going...There is a Sunni-Shiite divide that has been going on for over 1300 years. Until we recognize the hatred these sects have for each other, nothing will change. It is not Israel, the US or the West they hate the most, it is each other.josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057606413590949268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-21298849501098564202015-12-21T19:04:08.700-08:002015-12-21T19:04:08.700-08:00If there was no oil in the Middle East we would al...If there was no oil in the Middle East we would already be doing this.
