Here's my 2 cents:
Pretty much all militant muslims view us (Americans) as the enemy. They do not want us in their land, imposing our views on other muslims. So what should we do?? Pull every American out of the middle east. Let them have their sh*tty little desert. Let them all wage their civil wars. Let them blow each other up. Why should we care about what they do to themselves? I don't. Every day we read about another bombing in Palestine, another skirmish between India and Pakistan (though not that much now), Israeli troops shelling Palestine. Why should anyone over here care? These people don't give a flying f*ck about Americans. When other nations' governments crumble, we help restore order. When other nations face genocide from a ruthless dictator, we help protect the helpless. We continually give and give and give, and what do we receive in return? Hatred from almost every country on the planet. Hell, we've helped the French out numerous times (cough, World War II, cough), and we are even hated by them. I doubt you can find one middle easterner that can say "I respect the U.S.A." They all hate us. So, I say "F*ck 'em." Why not become isolationist again? Pull everyone out and abandon the whole area. And when a dictator comes to power and starts invading neighboring countries and one of those countries asks for help, we should just tell them to piss off. I don't want anyone I know and care about dying at the hands of a terrorist because they hate that we have American troops in Saudi Arabia or that we support Israel. If we were isolationist again, we wouldn't have such a problem. Sh*t, you don't see any anti-Switzerland groups burning Switzerland flags. That's because Switzerland knows they shouldn't be meddling in other people's business. So, I don't think we should either.
