People like Mr Dees are acting as if the only way to solve the prblems in the
Middle East is with military force. This is wrong, and is more likely to
create more problems down the line.
First of all, waht is the problem?
Contrary to what some people would have us belive, it isn't Islam, it's abuse
of the religion by some very charismaric people, such as Bin Laden and
Hussain, trhough the use of extensive propoganda which makes out the West
uses military force to acheieve its goals.
Guess what? The propoganda is right.
And how do we attempt to fight this propoganda? By proving it correct time
and time again. Everytime ebough people believe the propoganda enough to give
up their lives for it, the Western "civilisations" send in thousands of
troops and bomb the place to hell, yet nobody seems concerned with fighting
the propoganda.
A much mroe reasonible plan of attack would be to destroy the propoganda, by
sending teachers, doctors and medicine into the middle east. The costs of a
single cruise missile can pay a teachers salary for a year, and I'm sure
there are some who would even volumteer to go for free. The fuel for a single
air-raid would cover expenses for an army of doctors.
If the US and its allies acted as humintarians instead of warmongers, the
warmongers in the middle east would have nothing to base their propoganda on.
FIght the propoganda, not the people.
