they have the right to go around the world "correcting" the cultures of everyone else? Why do you think you have the right to tell everyone else what laws they should have, what customs they should follow? Europeans and their descendants, the Americans, have been trying to spread Christianity and western style gov't for centuries at the pint of a gun. The people of the America's, Africa and the ME had been doing just fine for 1000's of years, before the West invaded. Now they have nation states, artificial boarders, armies, wars, poverty, starvation, disease, a life out of balance with the natural world ...with their overlords, the West, telling them what kind of gov't and religion they can have, what customs they can follow, food they eat, clothes they wear, when they can sneeze. I may not like some of what they do, but their culture is a 1000 years older than mine, and 1000's of miles away , it's not my place to tell them who they can be, and what they can believe.

Rainbows: that situation makes my point exactly....the problem is the artificial society the West created for them....there's no solution but separation...they'll never stop killing each other anymore than cats and rattlesnakes in the same box.

Europe has been doing it for years.. and I guess they kind of feel that they should fix all the things they screwed up (like Africa due to colonization) ... as for America.. we didn't really care until WW II..... We just want to try and make sure it doesn't come to that again... even if we don't go about it in the right way sometimes.
Edit: Um.. not really sure where you are from.. with the "the tables are turning" stuff... but an all out war with the Western nations is not something anyone should want.... you should try to be a peaceful activist if you feel so strongly about this.

No. I'm now not going to begin calling myself a European Canadian considering that I have local ancestry too. If individuals have ancestors from a couple of continents, do they must pass by way of the complete record? This would get tedious. I choose "individuals".

News Flash; We are in a war with muslin extremist, their idea of Islamic paradise does not include peaceful co-existence with the West. They are bent on the conversion or destruction of the West.
