First of all I don't hate Muslims. I am a realist however and I recognize that all of the United States' current enemies are Muslims. I do recognize that virtually every American service person killed in service over the last 20 years was killed by Muslims. I do realize that the greatest attack ever against the American homeland was perpetrated by Muslims. I do know that when Americans are harmed "the Muslim street" erupts in celebration.
Turkey an ally - I spent a year in Ankara and experienced first hand (as in in-person) many anti-American actions. Remember last year when the Turks wouldn't allow us to use their land or air space in OIF. I know you're familiar with our term RINO well how about AINO?
Egypt an ally? Why wasn't Mubarack at RWR's memorial. Where was Egypt in OIF?
Pakistan an ally? I spent a year there also. I was stationed at the USAF Station (not base) in Peshawar when the Pakistani government ordered us to leave, permanently in 1969. Why won't this "ally" allow us to cross the Afghan border in pursuit of Al Queada and UBL? AINO?
What has a Jordanian done for us lately, other than caution us not to "destabilize the region?" Don't you remember the Jordanians in Aman cheering as skud missles were launched willy nilly by S Hussein during Desert Storm? AINO.
Indonesia...? Right. Care to vacation in Bali, 200 killed by Muslim terrorists in 2002? Care to visit Jakarta? 14 killed by Muslim terrorists in 2003? How can a place that is in internal upheaval and has had three governments in as many years be an ally of anyone? I don't even know that we have any AINO with them.
And Kuwait! Well we pulled their bacon...I guess I mean mutton out of the fire in 1991. Ally? They are just a bunch of little despots who need us to protect their little sheikdom so that they can afford to charge a 747 on their Mastercard...priceless. AINO.
I notice that you left out Saudi Arabia. AINO.
Are the following allies? Syria, Iran, Yemen...Palestine???
No I don't hate muslims anymore than I would have hated Germans or Japanese during WWII - but they were enemies as is the Muslim World now.
As far as OIF goes, that was an effort to center the War On Terror where it belongs, in the region where terrorism originates, and by the way we liberated Muslims from oppression. You watch Iraq after we leave.
Finally, I've noticed that a goodly part of the anti-American sentiment and urgings to attack Americans were issued by Imams and Ayatollahs (some here in the US)...men of God...hah.
North Korea? Cuba? Even the Chinese still rattle sabres.
Why does a terrorist incident make Indonesia anti-American -- are you saying the people or government of Indonesia are to blame? By that token, Oklahoma City was the fault of all Americans.
Bottom line is, we aren't at war with all Islam or all Muslims - - in fact, quite a few Muslim countries are on our side.
Then I guess we shouldn't have fought the Gulf War. Is that what you're saying? And we shouldn't be liberating Iraqis today, because the people we're liberating are Muslims.
