I have a friend who has a similar world view - to him it's all just too hard and complicated.
He thinks we shouldn't send troops anywhere - ever. He also doesn't think we should express opinions on any other country. He doesn't think we should offer aid to countries either because that can inflame jealousy and claims of imbalance due to location/race/religion/economic interests. He basically thinks that if as a nation we curled up tight into a shell just like a turtle then nothing will harm us and we'll be left to live in peace.
Problem is, there are people that want to show compassion and generosity to people in need. Also we all compete in a global market on a world economic stage, and that in itself causes conflict.
So I'm afraid there's no avoiding these different countries, peoples, religions - they will affect you no matter how much you try and ignore them. This is ESPECIALLY the case with ISLAM where the stated intention is to convert every person and every nation. As the Koran dictates, first you provide the option to convert willingly, and if that's refused then it's jihad on multiple levels - spiritual and physical...and it's the physical that we see happening in New York, Bali, Madrid, London...etc.
It's like cancer - the worst thing you can do is ignore it and just wish it'd go away - early treatment is the best cure.
Your poll forgot one choice.
I don't care !!!
I want to know nothing more about Muslims then I already do. If they don't like our ways, think we are infidels etc, then go back the **** home.
Enough Said !!!
