For me my eyes were opened. Until then I was under the understanding that everybody loved America. If they couldn't get here, they'd do everything they could to make their country like America and look to us solve the world's problems. Yes, there were only 19 terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks but over 1 million are of the mind set they if given the right set of circumstances they would be willing to personally carry out a suicide attack themselves where if organized would represent the largest standing army on earth. Exponentially more are not willing carry out a suicide attack but cheer on those who are, honors them as heroic martyrs for the cause offer their support. What a wake up call.
I also learned there is big connection between having to deal with them and oil. Our entanglement in their region of the world actually creates their hatred of us due their ancient segregationist mindset especially under conditions where they see themselves as not having supremacy over us in the relationship. Oil has not only led to our inadvertent financial support of efforts to kill us but the drill our own oil idea not only will never replace their oil, only add to it based on how oil is sold on the global market and is actually the best guarantee they could get from us that they'll be able to generate trillions of dollars for decades to come. I have become an activist for getting off of oil to the greatest degree possible and learned there are other reasons than national security that it makes the best sense for us including less expensive vehicles (once the same mass production benefits and initial R&D is recouped,) longer lasting vehicles, cars that require far less maintenance and cars that require fewer repairs. However, defunding anti-American Middle Eastern propaganda, anti-American terrorism, dictatorships and nuclear proliferation are the big reasons.

Oil?I also learned there is a big connection between having to deal with them and oil. Our entanglement in their region of the world actually creates their hatred of us due their ancient segregationist mindset especially under conditions where they see themselves as not having supremacy over us in the relationship.

Oil?
WE made them trillionairs buy finding and extracting the oil, when the original search was for water.
Lets see, we make them rich beyond belief. And they hate our guts.
Sounds fair.
How did it change me? Not one bit. I already knew what the score was between us and them.
And your point?You don't get it. The ones we deal with are the princes and their families. Most of them come to the Cleveland Clinic and bring their entire families for a diagnostic check up once a year. The poor people who never see a penny of the wealth and only see Americans as being responsible are the ones who hate our guts.....about 90-95% of their population.
Trying to isolate (refuse to trade with?) a billion people (or more) for the crimes (sins?) of a few among them is as foolish as saying that we should cease trade with Chicago since they have a urban gang problem that they fail to control. National security, or even your personal household security, is not obtained by isolation and complete self suffiency, but by identifying and eliminating the direct threat to it.
And your point?
Osama was a shirt tail relative of the royal family.
But its not just the sins of a few. The anti-Americanism is pervasive throughout the region. The few are the people who welcome our friendship. As far as your Chicago comparison goes, there's a difference in my opinion with criminal activity that is pretty much confined to Chicago and having a prevailing culture in Chicago where hating the people of South Bend is considered a patriotic duty and 10% of Chicago 2.7 million people or over a quarter of a million people hate the people of South Bend so much they support and under the right circumstances would be willing themselves to travel to South Bend to carry out suicide bombings. Meanwhile the overwhelming majority of Chicagoans consider them heroes. That's what we're up against in the Middle east minus thankfully the lack of proximity to the region and a more equal population. If South Bend was faced with that scenario they would most certainly isolate itself from Chicago until such time that they moderated their culture. They certainly wouldn't continue to allow circumstances to exist where Chicago's ganglords controlled the South Bend economy if they could do anything about it. If anything, in the interest of their own security if possible would foster economic conditions whereby the flow of money into Chicago would be curtailed from all sources.
I will guarantee that far more U.S. casualties result from U.S. street gang activity than from Muslim terrorists.
I agree. If you've followed my postings, I'm passionate about exposing its root causes and dealing with that problem at the source too.
9-11 made me want to go after our own energy and quit buying Arab oil. IMO we should not only drill oil but mine coal and transition to NG. We are the Saudi Arabia of NG and coal and we have huge untapped oil reserves. We really could be energy independent if we had the balls to do so.
It's a game they play...both parties all the time. We have a military which consumes more oil than at least twenty five other countries. Do you seriously think they will ever quit using oil from the middle east until it's all gone? Our politicians have a plan. Use all of theirs then be the last country on earth to run out of oil. We even pump some imported oil into the evacuated salt mines in the south west. They call it a strategic reserve but you can bet your ass they have never told the truth about how much of it there is.
I think we can dramatically reduce our use of Arab oil, DRAMATICALLY!
