american weapons and funding have been both injuring and killing people that are their friends and family. What else would one expect; if a weapon killed someone in your family (not just once but time after time) that showed the tems made in america.
america has to understand; whom are we as to judge and disctate the policies of the world. Perhaps america should take one hard look in the mirror of reality. america is far beyond the need to become more of a isolationist country, rather than a country that will fund and arm any cause. Didn't america think ahead.
Again choices and blame....weapons bought by muslims used to kill muslims to enforce muslim sharia laws, and fight out muslim squabbles, again international customers pay for oil, instead of using the oil money to feed and provide for their people the muslim leaders use it for violence, use the violence to control their people, then lay blame on everybody but themselves and the lack of separation between church and state, means it is all done through mosques.
also there are a lot of soviet and chinese weapons being bought and used...
It is a homegrown problem, and the solution starts when people like you stop using propaganda to divert blame from where it belongs take responsibility. The most peaceful, least painful solution to Islamic extremism is to have moderate Islamists take up arms against their own religious and political oppressors. Stop blaming others. To the moderate muslims in the middle east I say: the more extremists you kill on your own, (both physically and ideologically) the less likely you'll ever see a foreign army on Islamic soil.
Don't blame the people selling the guns. If your leaders were asking to buy food and agriculture equipment, hospital equipment, water desalinization plants, and other things to improve your daily lives, we would happily sell them that too. Trade is a supply and demand process... your leaders asked for weapons, that is what we sold them...
it's not the weapons that kill people it's the people holding the weapons that kill people.
put the gun down, it won't kill anybody.
take the gun from the fanatic, and he'll keep trying to kill you.
so how do you reduce the number of fanatics? you preach peace and disarm them, kill any that won't disarm. Not an easy or quick process, but better than having a foreigner come in and do it for you, because you did nothing.
To the avearge muslim in the middle east I'd say this:
in my church and my country this is considered bad parenting:
and you're gonna blame somebody half way around the world for all your problems when you could have bought your kid a bicycle?
that photo was from the 70's... yesterdays generation brainwashed into violence and murder is now raising this generation of kids...
I was riding a bicycle while your religious leaders, political leaders and parents brainwashed you. I wasn't your enemy then, and my little boy outside on his bicycle isn't your enemy now. If you come over here, blowing stuff up, killing people, then yes, I'll vote for any government policy that keeps your violence off our soil.
