You know what would be a good idea to stop terrorism. Get the fuck out of the middle east and stop going to war with countries who are not your equal to steal their resources, maybe they will stop retaliating the only way they can.

And, we have another racist. Stop suggesting those people are incapable of anything but violence. It's gross.

don't go to war = racism

logic is irrefutable

If you don't have the power to go head to head in a war you have to resort to "dirty" strategies. You can really only blame your government if you get targeted by terrorists. The same people who are using it as an excuse to take away your liberty and privacy.

Oh ok, so now we are broadening our expectations of terrorism to EVERONE. Way to be inclusive.

How about this:

Given our vastly superior power, it is only our generosity and sense of honor and adherence to the rules of engagement that keeps us from exterminating every last one of them.

By your logic, we might as well say: "Well, we don't have the power to do what is necessary to defeat an insurgency, because they blend in with civilians when our troops show up and start planting IED's. So we have to resort to "dirty" strategies and just exterminate 100 civilians in a country that hosts terrorists for every American civilian killed by terrorists. You can really only blame the terrorists if you get targeted by us".

No thanks. I'm going to blame terrorists for being terrorists, whether they feel their actions are justified or not. The Middle East can attribute its continued existence to the fact that we are neither Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Imperial Japan.

I don't want to have anything to do with the Middle East, and I disagree with our foreign policy, but terrorism is never okay whether you think we "deserve it" or not.

Exactly. This half assed approach is what is getting their own people killed. Still nobody's fault but their own.

At the end of the day, you have to look at body count. Not even the greatest terrorist threat in the world is even remotely close to how many civilians are being killed every day because of your adherence to these awesome "rules of engagement"

not sure why i'm actually responding here but can you explain yourself?

apio says don't go to war because it results in retaliation, you said his statement is equivalent to racism while also making a racist statement yourself

either i'm an idiot or i'm being trolled, and its probably both

You don't see anything wrong with suggesting a people is only capable of terrorism?
