Look, if I lived there, and I was afraid daily of some asshole shooting a rocket into my house, I'd LEAVE and go somewhere where that wasn't a daily concern. But people all over that area don't do that. I can only assume that they are folks that thrive on chaos, thrive on conflict, and thrive on disorder. Some people are like that, and the best thing others can do is stay away from them and their drama. The best analogy I can think of is dating a stripper. It's going to be constant problems, drama, cost you money, etc. Yeah, it's exciting, but after a while, you think, "who needs all this drama?" |

Both sides are wrong, and neither side will compromise so the whole situation just keeps getting worse. The US, the EU, and the UN have been played by both sides, and are just perpetuating things even more by sending money and support to both sides. Bottom line, it's just fuct up. |

Is your argument that some of our welfare to Egypt, Israel, etc. gets spent here on armaments built by American military contractors? A true fiscal conservative is against corporate welfare, too. Let our contractors compete against other armament manufacturers worldwide for the defense dollars of Egypt, Israel, and other allies. Let the free market decide, rather than say, OK, the US taxpayers will pay you, as long as you buy stuff from US companies. You want to cut off food stamps, Section 8, etc.? Me too. I just want to cut out foreign welfare, too. If the US was truly ballin', everyone was loaded and we were all flush with cash, I might feel different, but that isn't the case. We're broke, the economy nationwide isn't great and there are plenty of poor here who don't have tax money to spend on foreigners. Helping foreigners, like helping down and out Americans, is something best left to private charity, not the government. |

When you borrow money you don't have, to give it to someone else, especially foreigners, you ARE sacrificing helping your own people. You are sacrificing your kids' futures, as you saddle them with debt they can't afford to pay off. The money we sent out in foreign aid last year could have been spent widening I-45, for example. But it wasn't. And guess what? Money we otherwise could have spent THIS YEAR widening I-45 isn't available anymore because we have to pay debt service on the money we gave away LAST YEAR. You can call me nationalistic, or worse, but with scarce, limited resources, I'd prefer my tax dollars to take care of America first, and others later, if there is any left over, $ 17T in debt=we ain't got none left over, and are not likely to have any left over in the future. |

I'm sure you missed that point because it goes against your Obama loving creed. Since you know how many Muslims are radicalized you should tell us..... Deaf ears, I know you have BHO's dick so deep you can't hear. |

Our "Peaceful" Americans are no different. Ask an average American about any war we've been in or are in, or even 9/11 now that it's old enough, and they'll pretty much be wrong (topic of is no matter). Average people only care that they feel secure. They don't care how that happens, and they pretty much don't want to know until it affects them directly. |

These people have been fighting since there has been man on earth and two billion years from now when earth ends the same people will still be fighting till the sun supernovas...There will never be a solution until one of these races is eradicated. The only way to combat the muslims is through brute force they no no peace nor do they want any you can't change an ideology that has been engrained in them though out history.

Israel is the bad guy because they won't let the Palestinians just wander around freely into Israel, and instead built a wall to keep them out and only allow transit through carefully monitored checkpoints.
Fortunately, Egypt and Jordan are forward-thinking folks and allow the Palestinians to freely transit their borders with them! Or not. Hmmm, it's almost like they are worried about them too. It's almost like the Palestinians are kept in their perpetual victim status because it's useful to Israel's enemies. All of which, it seems, seem to be not exactly friendly to us. You know where else there are "open air concentration camps" for Palestinians? Lebanon! Yay, they have them too! Yippee for Lebanon, they are teh meanies too! Oh, and Joecooool? I thought al Qaeda was on the run? 10,000 al Qaeda? Wow, that's not very "on the run" sounding to me. And that number most assuredly is on the low side. Add in ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood (who even Egypt thinks is too radical), the Taliban, Hamas, Syrian rebels, and all the offshoots in Libya, Somalia, those guys holding the 200+ school girls, etc etc etc ad nauseum infinitum. |

Egypt has been the #2 getter of US aid ever since Carter sincerely thought he could make peace by "pay to play" with US tax money. |
