America has not yet figured out that we shouldn't be where we're not wanted....

The Middle East has been a smoldering volcano that erupts often...and often with terrible consequences. The wisdom is to KNOW THIS...and to understand the underlying arguments from EACH SIDE....That being said...as Americans....as people who are basically peace loving...though some unfortunately are easily blinded by rightwing, war mongering rhetoric...we have the tendency to push our “way of life” on others...not really understanding that we are ONLY about 200 years old....and we're trying to push our lifestyle, our values, our customs and our form of democracy (as broken and as apparently corrupt as it is) on countries that have been around THOUSANDS OF YEARS....

Our Middle Eastern foreign policy...and for the most part...our ENTIRE foreign policy for that matter has been a disastrous failure for many years!

Our country has tried to remain open to allow peace loving, freedom loving peoples from around the world...an opportunity to come here...to live and work here...to go to school here...to perhaps become citizens here....but the fact remains....not everyone WANTS to come here...OR be an American....Sadly...some think America is the devil....

The above was a preface the link below...in which a Muslim woman, a member of MSA,...and HAVING THE PRIVLEDGE OF GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE USA....was asked a very simple question....do you or do you not...support Hamas?

Her response is chilling....and IMO only proves that we should STAY OUT of Middle East politics...and start restricting exactly WHO we allow in this country FOR ANY REASON....because the collateral effects of our political meddling AND our lax scrutiny of people crossing our borders has dire consequences.....
