Serving in the middle east and working with people that continue to serve in the middle east most certainly biases my opinion. I've made no comments to "hide" that fact.


Bringing up the "homegrown one" doesn't change anything. I reacted in my initial posts in this thread based on what I know and have experienced. I refuse to change that and consider some people of your ilk to be profoundly ignorant. That's O.K. though, you can sleep well knowing that people like me work each and every day to ensure that you can do so.


That "one outlier" probably isn't so much, and if you think otherwise, then I would think that you are a very foolish man.

To be fair people of his ilk are working hard to send taxes to fund the people of your ilk. The one is not better than the other and both are just as dependent on each other.


I tend to believe the hate for the west is genuine and will always be there hence why I advocate us not going there.


We could spend 1000 years in the Middle East and history tells you nothing will change in the Middle East only the empire trying to control them will see change.
