They all learn from Pakistan how to take petro dollars from Saudi and spread Wahabbism among the population while the leader of the country keeps a “moderate secular democratic” face to sucker Americans for more aid. When the population has been Wahabbised enough with Saudi petro dollars it comes to a point where US can be blackmailed into pouring more money to keep the Wahabbi influence out. This is how Muslim countries have learned to hold US by its balls. And Americans wonder why the world is becoming anti-American inspite of all their monetary aid.

Very good point.

So you’re saying that these third world countries plays the US for suckers, then hates the US because they can play the US for suckers?

No. They hate the US because they see television, and movies, and they see how Americans live. Then they look around at how they live, and are angry. They are told by their ‘spiritual leaders’ that the unholy Americans are taking everything away for themselves, and they are angry.

The US has been the ‘Great Satan’ for a very long time, yet secretly they envy the US and other countries such as India who have a better life. As an example, I give to you those great Martyrs that died on 9/11, but were seen on surveillance videos just days prior going to bars and strip clubs.

"I Hate America (give me an XBox.)" "Death to Europe (give me a BMW.)" "Death to Israel (give me orange groves in the desert.)"

No, they hold America by its balls because we let them. We're too sensitive to carpet bomb their mosques. We're the 'good guys' and have to play by the rules. And if just one soldier doesn't, it's front page news all over the world. But when thousands die at the hands of an Ayatollah or South American dictator, nobody notices or cares.

Americans stacking prisoners in a pyramid is torture, but generator wires to the genitals and rape rooms are OK as long as it's in the name of Allah.

The US and the West in general cares what the rest of the world thinks about them. They want the rest of the world to like them. They can't understand that those third world dictators need to have an enemy to justify their own existence. They don't have the ability to be ruthless, therefore they allow pissant little dictators hold them by the balls.

The problems between Pakistan and India I will admit that I do not fully understand. I do know historically about the atrocities that occured in 1947 with the Partition. I will also admit that I never understood the Troubles in Northern Ireland between the Catholics and Protestents.

That's why we go in to places like Iraq, overthrow a brutal dictator, then are astonished when the population hates us still. We can't understand why countries like Pakistan can't keep their tribal areas under control.

As Rodney King said in the aftermath of the L.A. riots which were sparked by his own beating: "Can't we just get along?"

Nope.
