and join the arabs against israel

picture this

the new president comes out and says "ok. past us administrations were wrong. were not backing israel anymore" and started working pro-palastinians and pro islam. it would be in our best interest to become allies with the arabs instead of the jews. we give them a little military aid to = the jews and then take a hands off aproach and let them settle things.

we would never have to worry about terrorism or oil prices again.

Or you know, we could just stay out of it entirely. I mean, if we're going to shift foreign policy it should be away from entangling ourselves with other nations.

Well, Thomas Jefferson was once President and he said "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."

Jefferson for President!!!

That's pretty naive. The Islamic beef with the west is deeper than political alignment with Der Judenstaat.

Not terrisim or oil prices. Getting in bed with someone who believes they should rule you, and if you dont convert you should pay a religious tax....that would be priceless.

^^but i think this would be big enough for political forgiveness between governments. of course there would still be hatred and anemosity amongst the people but thats life.

Doubtful. Many of the Muslim governments and political parties stay in power by espousing populist sentiments. If there is still hatred and animosity amongst the people, it will be evident in their government. Not to mention the fact that they have successfully used The Great Satan as a weapon of mass distraction for years and years and years. This is not an imbroglio that can be solved by a simple US withdrawal from the region.

^not just a withdrawal. give actual aid to these countries to level the playing field.

^^ You completely underestimate the depth of animosity between Islamic fundamentalists and the infidels. This whole thing did not start in 1948.

Yes, but with the recent popularity of Christian Fundamentalism, I don't think a deist/agnostic would make it into office. It's unfortunate how many founding fathers would be unelectable these days.

Well Jefferson was a deist.

I was just pointing out his somewhat off topic statement.

John Adams was a Unitarian. Jefferson once wrote to him about his wishes to join such a deistic church. Since there was no UU church in Virginia at the time, Jefferson attended an Episcopal one in the meantime.

So yes, Adams and Jefferson were Unitarian deists, much like Thoreau.

You do realize that they hate us not just because of Israel, right?

They hate our culture, and how their bitches want to show their faces like the girls on baywatch

Its a matter of pride.

Please, its just a small minority that believes that. If we didn't support Israel, and alway intervene in the ME they would keep that shit under control, but why should they if we are always screwing them over.

If you think our support of Israel is the only reason they want to kill us, you're stupid.
They hate the entire Western world, see Spain bombings, and bombings against pro-Western arab countries for example

You'll have to elaborate on what bombings you speak of, but I know the bombings in Spain occured because of Spanish support of the US in Iraq. Had nothing to do with culture or any of that bullshit you're talking about.

Look, Islamic fundamentalists wanted to fuck up NORWAY, for Christ's sake. It's fucking NORWAY. Anyone who gets pissed enough at them to want to wage a jihad needs to be kept in check a bit.

That's like wanting to fight the Beaver. If that thought ever crosses your mind, you need to chill out.
