"The point some of us are trying to make is that maybe its time to recognize that what we are doing is not working. The time has come to put down the sabers. The time has come to let reason have a chance to work."
Who's the blind fool ?
You obviously know very little history.
"The First Barbary War (1801 - 1805), also known as the Barbary Coast War or the Tripolitan War, was the first of two wars fought between the United States of America and the North African states known collectively as the Barbary States. These were the independent Sultanate of Morocco, and the three Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, which were quasi-independent entities nominally belonging to the Ottoman Empire.
"The American envoy (sounding an awful lot like YOU) inquiring "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the Moroccan ambassador replied:
It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.
So how do you figure?
You really believe this had anything to do with US foreign policy or Israel?
Open your eyes.
This has all been happening for centuries with an occasional time out that in some instances might last a few generations but sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, will start up again all with exactly the same goal and has nothing whatsoever to do with any of what you claim.
Its got all to do with religion and specifically the spread of Islam.
