because, with the one exception of Israel, which is a very unique circumstance, there is no such thing as a friendly government in the middle east. The media, in their constant quest to stay PC, doesn't talk about it, but the simple fact is that arabs (musilms, actually) HATE America and Americans by a 99.9% majority. They have been taught it since birth, it is the way of the world, and it will not change. Screw the PC and tell it like it is, this is just the way it is.
We can dominate by force where and when we need to, or we can leave them alone (which won't help anything BTW). Personally, and I am not racist, but I know how they feel, because of their hatred and wanting to hurt us, I really have no use for any of the damned middle east.
I have never hurt another human being but when I saw the palestinians dancing in the street in joy over the september 11 attacks, I wished to hell I was in that street with a ma duece. I would have burned it dry. It's a simple matter of when you hate us, I have no use for you.
