Ok--(I don't belong here, I'm not anywhere near as well-versed on this as all of you, but I am middle America and I'm not as stupid as you think, so--ok....)
 You want politically incorrect? How's this---the Muslim world is 1,000 years behind the rest of the civilized world. At least. And they don't produce anything. To me, those are major, MAJOR flaws that won't be corrected until enough time has passed as such to render the culture/religion "aware"--my niece married a fresh-off-the-jihad Pakistani man. You all should get a load of HIM! How many of YOU have it in the family??? Anyone?? Yes, he's one man. No, he's not inclusive of the entire region/religion. Don't insult me. But he IS completely unwilling to "adopt" this country as his own------so, why the fuck is he HERE?????* *I've the answer, but it's waaaay off the thread. Now back to your arguement....

 The real solution is long term, but I think it's what happened in Russia: Give them all cable tv and internet access and eventually their kids will demand western culture.

[quote=dar512]They don't have to. They've got oil.
[/QUOTE} ...ok, WE did not always NEED their oil. They've NEVER produced anything except religious nut cases. If the world didn't need oil, they'd be Darfur. Period. No one would give a shit what they did or how many of them were killed.

Good point, Brianna. And you have to wonder if all our oil money wasn't flowing into the Mideast, would they the nutcases be able to afford to fly around and plant bombs hither and thither?
So support our troops - get rid of your suvs and humvees.

I'm way, waaaaay below an SUV. I'm nowhere near a humvee. I'm a Ford kind of woman. While other RN's bought Lexus and the like, I raised two kids with all the opportunity I could muster. I think I got the better deal. My oldest is enjoying what we jokingly call "lawyer camp" at University of Cincinnati. He won via an essay he wrote (and he was identified as "gifted" as a youngster). The younger, Danny, just finished an elite sports camp. I feel lucky.

Not to mention The U.S. and its protegé: China. "I'll have two orders of western culture please, super size them, and a side of me first."

Anyone read the news this morning about the bombers? Sounds like three, at least, were middle-class young men that got recruited on a visit home to Pakistan. Sounds like all of these men had prospects. One was a newlywed with a daughter.
I just don't get it.
