but the reason that is not important for you is important for them, you should understand what they deal with and then you can manage the relation between the one you are talking about in what way you like...
:lol:
Having aided in the securing of an Airport, a hospital and two safe havens in Bosnia, I have a well balance view of Muslims in general.
It would be safe to say, I dislike them, in general. And here's why...
On foot patrol through the safe haven in Srebrenica, I came upon a little girl sitting on her Grandmothers lap. The poor thing, dirty, bloodied and crying inconsolably. I took from my pack a "pookie" teddy bear my wife had given me for good luck and gave it to her.
Not 24 hours later, while assisting in the distribution of bottled water, I watched a man sneak into the line 4 times, taking 2 bottles each time. I confronted the man with the aid of our interpreter.
Within minutes, I was confronted with an angry mob of Muslims. Including guess who? The Grandmother, who joined in and spat at me and my bruthers for having the audacity to stop a man from ripping them off, by taking more then his fair share of water.
So please, spare me the song and dance on Muslims. I know what they've had to endure, I was part of a team that tried to spare them of it. Only to be spat at, shot at and otherwise threatened by both sides.
Actually, that is not what I meant.
I meant to say and thought it was quite clear, is that when a stray bomb wipes out someones family it makes it easier for the Islamist to take hold of that persons will. Even Bush was able to lead the nation to an illegal war based on this.
Recruitment lines have gotten longer since the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions for that reason and patriotism.
I agree, foriegn policy has a direct correlation to blowback. But if you look at preceding wars, great destruction can lead to the breaking of the will of the people, you are trying to help. I believe this is a must.
Thus three block warfare should be shelved, all out war, including carpet bombing, until such time as the people fold. Is the order of the day. Until this level of combat is reached, we will continue to send young men and women off to die, ad nauseum.
All the while building greater resentment in those we are supposedly trying to aid.
