[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shakaar: [QB] *ponders* I think I somewhat disagree, though I would have to ask you to outline just what the US did to provoke 9/11. What really could we have done differently, stand completely aside, in which case you probably would have had the genocide of the Israeli people in the Seven Days war if we had not armed them- After that we were in for a penny and in for a pound. There is no way to reconcile our differences- there never really was, they wish for the complete destruction of a state and its people, they will accept nothing less, and they have done things to try and bring this about, and Israel and the US has done things to make that more difficult, which in turn creates many of what I feel you consider legitimate grievances. If they had true justifiable grievances they could have proven them to the world in a manner other than blowing up planes, taking and murdering hostages. I don�t know- They may have had legitimate grievances, but the manner in which they have �protested� them have not been legitimate- *L* Now I�m no supporter of the current administration� I thought Afghanistan was an appropriate action- I wish we could have devoted much more to their country- I think when we enter into nation building; we should only do so when we can devote enough resources into it that they have a strong economy, trade, and a government that protects its people. I think Iraq was a mistake. Things the stuck out to me in Bush�s speech were how he wanted to strengthen our educational system and provide more money for Science and Math- when he recently cut Pell Grants. He mentioned keeping the tax cuts- and he has been the only President not to raise taxes to pay for a war- it�s just reckless, it�s like pondering you should buy a Porsche all-the-while pondering you�d like to work a part-time job to pay for it. There seems to be no push behind his thoughts on getting us away from oil. I do feel we need to build more nuclear power, along with other types of energy production plants. Bush mentioned Iran, Palestine, and nations in the region, addressing their people mostly to ask them to embrace liberty and democracy- Many of them recently had democratic elections- and the results were very anti-US.
