Do you acknowledge a cause/effect relationship in interventionism and bad things happening to us from abroad?

Question

Or do you think foreign aggression just randomly falls out of the sky for no reason?

If the USA had not been engaging in bipartisan meddling in other countries' affairs for more than a century, would say, for example, Islamic extremists, no matter how unhinged in their Muslim homelands, be flying planes into our skyscrapers?

Even if Coca-Cola sells product in these countries and they "hate our way of life", if we didn't have military bases and such abroad would they seriously be wasting their energy to change our US theocracy from one of Christianity to one of Sharia Law?

Out of sight, out of mind? Is there something to be said for keeping a low profile in foreign relations?

I'm not a sympathizer, Muslim or a fascist. If one gets so hostile over a question, I think you are the fascist. Me leave? Hell no, you first. I suppose Thomas Jefferson was a fascist too? And the Swiss?

You are so missing the point by so wide a margin far it's not even funny.

In case you aren't up to date on history, US foreign interventionism didn't begin (nor will it end with) with the Middle East. It's been going on in every corner of the world forever. Just because someone somewhere in the world "calls" on us to be the world's police in that particular moment doesn't mean we are obligated to do something not in our own long term security interest. If your next door neighbor meddles in your affairs, it rightfully angers you. That same principle doesn't stop because a bunch of bureaucrats in high-sounding language explain to us mere citizens why we just HAVE to practice it on a larger scale with greater face to face anonymity / insulation from reality.

If you see the word "Islam" above and immediately stop thinking to let your knee-jerk take over, the word was inserted only as a recent example. Substitute anything you wish.

The last time I checked, a genuine fascist like Hitler was the one meddling in Poland and Czechoslovakia, not the other way around. Get your logic straight you false patriot. People who meddle (even when asked by one contingent) are the fascists, not people who mind their own damn business. That's not that complex a concept.

For that matter, remove "from abroad" and insert "from within". If you take two people from the same culture and locale and one is meddling with the other, bad things are likely to happen. This isn't rocket science.

Answer 1

I agree with your assesment.

The reason why the US is so hated abroad is due to our aggressive foreign policy that interferes in every nations internal business.

US foreign policy has had as many successes as failures. Our leader need to see changes must be made, as stay out of others affairs.
