Nuking the middle east is just as logical as nuking the US...the people will have nothing to hate if you rednecks were knocked off the face of the earth

...just another side of things.
But honestly, arabic ppl are in general peaceful. Muslims if you study the religion for its principles, it is the one pf the most peaceful religions out there. The only difference is that there are extremist groups (we have those everywhere, not just middle east) and they have been subject to most of the US's horrid efforts to police the world.
They don't like occupation of their country, no matter how 'good' the country is. This would never happen as we do not have a military, but how would you like a Canadian occupation of the US?...you guys have no reason to be in iraq, just as we have no reason to be in your country.
If you want to look at other countries in the wold that fight on religious principles (by extremist groups and not the general population), Ireland was subject to it, under your reasoning, they should be nuked. india and pakistan too.
do you not have a conscience?...you would nuke 260 million people, to save a precious few american lives.
I have friends who were born in the middle east, great people, very smart and level headed. Really opened my eyes, i suggest you do the same. You sit in your country thinking you are all enlightened on the issues, but really all you want to do is blow sh!t up, how pathetic. Lest we forget your country evolved from a civil war, are other nations not alowed to develop as yours did?
I agree with the comment to launch these rednecks into space.
