Pre-Beirut Lebanon, before President Regan sent peacekeeping troops to keep Christians from massacring Moslem women and children while Israelies looked on with indifference; did America really have any serious problems with the Arabs? The answer is no, in fact we were allied with Usama bin Laudin fighting Russians in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein the Iranians. During Beirut, we chose sides in the Arabs eyes, thus the mess we are in now. Just like when we supported the Shaw in Iran, against his, the Iranian people.
Do you think if we start minding our own business in the Arab world and quit supporting Israel, would that help in renewing our relations with the Arab world so we can start traveling safely around the world again, and not be afraid to go into tall buildings?
