Israel has been bending over kissing their butts
Between airstrikes. The only reason Israel is even "trying" is that we have forced them to.

Yes. Look at Palestine and Israel. Israel has been bending over kissing their butts and meanwhile another arms shipment from Iran gets through. They left Gaza and now it is a hell hole. Clinton massaged and bribed Arafat for 7 years- the guy died a billionare! and things only got worse.
You assume that these fiends are the same as you. They are not. They would impale you on your olive branch; kill your dove and suffocate you with it's bloody carcass. Any appeasement is seen as weakness and a chance to up-arm.
We are falling into the same traps over and over. Look at N. Korea. KJI needs some more heating oil and hard currency, so he is talking about a nukular free Korean peninsula. I thought Jimmuh Cahtuh took care of that? Another Nobel Prize for FAIL.
That FAIL bomber should have been on a plane to Gitmo to recite his life story. Instead he is lawyered-up in the US. We do this at our own peril, and that is exactly what the amateur hacks in power want.

And yes they are different than us. They avenge deaths when we just deal with it. Someone kills someone they love, they avenge. When someone kills someone we love, they get away with it practically. IF they get caught, it's 15 to life depending on how good their lawyer is and then they get 3 hots and a cot to live in for the remainder of their sentence. Usually if they get out, they go back to what they know and kill, rob, rape until they get caught again. Even though it's more barbaric, somehow I think it's actually much more effective than our "civilized" way of slapping hands.
Anyway so SURE, lets just blow up the world and everyone who doesn't agree with us. That's the only other option (oh wait, that sounds suspiciously like what those pesky terrorists are trying to do doesn't it?).
So talking nice doesn't work. Got it.
So giving aid doesn't work. Got it.
So occupying a country with force doesn't work. Got it. Three times we've got it..
So installing a false government doesn't work. Got it.
What else is there to do? They don't want us there, they don't want our aid, our friendship, nothing. So either we do nothing and let them stream in and blow us up, or we retaliate and/or preemptively strike and they still blow us up, or we try to be friends and we still get blown up.
Well screw that. At least we
tried to do it the nice way.
If it were left to some of you guys we would have just nuked the other hemisphere until it was just a billion acres of glass and the rest of the world would still hate us, possibly even more, if that's possible.
Oh and before someone spouts the normal "America is the best" propaganda and how "we don't care what the rest of the world thinks" and other assorted nonsense that I sense being posted soon, you might have forgotten that without the trade from the rest of the world, this country is as good as dead. A majority of our infrastructure is based on foreign trade regardless of how great we think we are. If suddenly the world decides that we are the next Nazi party, then suddenly we'll be in a world of hurt.
Besides, when groups of clandestine fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia (and so on), can hold the "world's greatest military" at arms length for years and years, you gotta start wondering how great we really are and how we'll do when we face a "real" military like the North Vietnamese or the DRPK.. Oh wait, those both ended badly too.. Well shit.
Guess it's time to fold up the tents guys, it's only costing lives and money now.
Unless those enlightened, although venomous few, like Walter, can let us know some of that special information that he must have.
Just remember, when England owned the colony of the Americas, the English didn't call the tea-partiers patriots, they were called terrorists. The only difference is what side you are looking from.
