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.

perhaps they want to impose their views on the rest of the world?
maybe they feel like they are doing the world a favor by ridding the world of american ideals

i don't care if we're the biggest boy on the block. if 30 little kids gang up and all beat up on the biggest kid, does he not bleed? we've shown we're vulnerable. we're being attacked because we are there. we have not been an aggressor (as far as i know) to anyone. yet they have this uncontrollable hatred towards us. if they feel that our presence over there warrants killing thousands of innocent americans, i think that means we should get the f*ck out of there as soon as possible

Your proposal could never happen for many various reasons.


I don't have the time to go into all of them but most of them have to do with either

A.) economics (oil)
B.) human rights
C.) maintaining stability so a leader does not rise with a weapon of mass destruction

Many other reasons but that is an idea of why your idea won't work....

1) we've had technology that could eliminate the need for oil-based products for 30 years....we could easily adapt
2) human rights - so what...they don't care about our welfare, so we won't care about theirs
3) without the us pouring billions of dollars into arabian states' economies every year, i doubt that they would be able to support a high scale nuclear arsenal

isolationism now!!!

It's all about Israel. The US government has been pumping billions of dollars each year to Israel to help fight the Muslims for the holy land. They hate us for that. The US will not stop giving money to the Israely government so the Muslims will not stop hating us. They want the land just as bad as we do. Our country is led by Christian people who feel it is our holy duty to pump billions of tax payers dollars (many of which are not Christian) to help save the land.

Time to dig out your history book..

We tried isolationism once, following WW1, all the way up until Pearl Harbor. Didn't work then, why now?

Although to some extent I agree with you, I just wish it were that simple.
