Why do Americans think their Government is doing a good job in the Middle East?

Question

I know I have generalised using all americans so don't bore me with comments on that please.

To clarify, I read the answers to some questions earlier in the week where it was stated several times by different users about the great job the USA was doing in the middle east, I just can't see what they see and would like to understand.

Answer 1

Have you actually been to the middle east to know otherwise? If so, please enlighten us. I have heard many soldiers come back and say that the Iraqi's are happy to have our support. They aren't all blood bathing, brain washed terrorists over there you know! There are real people that are being helped and benefited.

Answer 2

In my experience, peoples of alternative international locations are actually not as obsessed approximately funds as human beings could properly be, yet, I do think of there is resentment between the human beings of the mid-east in the direction of human beings, and extra usually, the west. component to this resentment stems from Israel, yet, additionally, the middle eastern international locations had a proud history, they have been the pinnacle of enlightenment till the fifteenth century or so. They have been leaders in philosophy, the humanities, the sciences, and in commerce for 1000 years or extra. The west then grew to alter into the main effectual in those cultural aspects on a similar time as middle eastern international locations too a decrease back seat. Militarily, the seventeenth century spelled the doom of the mid east. Now, they call for recognition in line with delight, and, have wrapped this racial delight around faith, and, properly, we are at odds. God help us all...

Answer 3

Americans are confused. They watch Confused News Network and nothing else as their source of information. And while some do watch other media, the other media is all the same with CNN. They provide half truth, and hide the other half.

and what were they providing all these years? their point of view. when one Palestinian is shot by the Israel terrorists, they said Hamas was behind it. they said, it is because of Hamas, the Israel retaliates.. and they retaliate with big destruction. same with Hezbollah. they kidnap 2 of the Israel soldiers, and Israel retaliates and bomb the whole country. They have no respect to their neighbouring countries.

Americans, if a terrorist from Mexico or Canada kidnap the most important person in the US of A, may i say.. the President? Tell me, will the US government be ready to retaliate to the whole Mexico or Canada? If you can guarantee this to happen.. then you can convince me that you are not confused. and CNN is not confuse also.

so, by saying that the US government is doing a good job in the Middle East, you are saying that they encourage peace. they didnt support Israel. but, as you can see, the US supports Israel's action.. even if they didn't act like they support, their lack of action on the peace is how they support. Americans should consider other people point of view. when 9-11 occured, Americans hate those who terrorize WTC.

then, when Israel terrorize Lebanon and Palestine, is'nt it natural for them to hate Israel?

American soldier goes to war, some of them are your friend, your brother and father.. even if you disapprove their action to war.
Suicide bombers explodes themselves up, they are Palestinian brothers and friends.

if a country send a rocket to Los Angeles, it will be call a crime. if a country send a rocket to Palestine, Americans will not feel the hurt much.

if America sends its soldier to Iraq, found nothing on WMD, confesses guilt, it will make Americans think they did a good job.
but, at the same time, what will others think?
will they lauds American action that leads to nothing? no. Only those who hate Iraq will be happy.

if Hezbollah kidnap two Israel sodier.. and we are not sure who's guilty here, it will make Palestinian think they did a good job. but, at the same time, what will American think? will they lauds Hezbollah action that leads to Israel retaliation? no. only those who supports Hezbollah will be happy.

and here American, CNN didn't provide Hezbollah point of view, therefore, CNN couldnt and SHOULDN'T justify the issues.. Americans, seek the truth and may you find the light.

Answer 4

Americans are hijacked by Zionists Media and they doing a good job of it. Americans are not getting a clear good Media coverage from the Middle east. Most books about the Middle East are fabricated by Zionists point of view of history and politics. for example, most Americans think Jews lived continually in Palestine. The Jews After Rome became Christians were not allowed to live in the holly land period. 1400 years ago the Muslims took over Jerusalem by a peace treaty which was singed by the head of the
Roman Church and the Muslim Leader called Omar Ibn Al Katab. The Romans Church demanded that: The protection of Christian Church, the protection of Christians pilgrimage to the holly cities Jerusalem and Bethlehem and Nazareth ". not to allow Jews to live in Holly city of Jerusalem."
The crusaders claimed that the Muslims violated the treaty by limiting the numbers of Pilgrims and allowing Christ killers to live in the old city of Jerusalem .When the crusaders occupied Jerusalem they killed, more than 50000 Muslims and 5000 Jews, they were all beheaded.There were no Jews after that most Jews lived in Arabia and they are called Arab Jews. Most of The Israeli Jews are new immigrants

Answer 5

The military is doing a good job. The government leadership is lacking, however. Although our going to Iraq may have been a noble cause, it's become an effort that is too costly. Sometimes one must know when it's time to fold your cards. It's time to get our troops home. Only the Iraqis can resolve matters at this point.

Answer 6

Because Americans think that they are the best at everything. I am not anti-american at all and don't mean to be rude. It's just a fact! They are brought up to think that way!

Maybe us Brits could take a leaf out of their book...

And hey! Whats with all the stuff about Jews on here? Is there any need for that?

Answer 7

Why blame America for the Middle East. It's not our job to police the world. It's time Arabs and Muslims take responsibility for their own actions.

Answer 8

Because they don't want to think elsewise. Most of our folks in USA are quite sheeplike and can be easily herded to wherever the government/religion takes them. They stay within their boxes easily and don't know anyone different than themselves as real people. It's easier for them not to think for themselves. If they opened their eyes, they might just see, that the world is a very big, beautiful place but that it's in pain. And we (USA) have created quite a bit of that global pain.

Answer 9

i think it's that old adage 'if you tell a lie enough times, it becomes true'. we've been lied to so thoroughly and completely ever since 9/11 that most americans can't tell truth from fabrication. so they believe whatever they are told. even when it contradicts previous information so obviously.
i guess i'm the only one who finds it funny that a war to remove wmd's and a vicious dictator suddenly became about outing the terrorists and no one seemed to notice the change in the gov'ts reasons for war.
this nation is starting to look like oceania from 1984.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Because they think the Middle East is somewhere near Cincinnati
