Why they hate the other people in the Middle East isn't any of my concern. Yours either.
Why they hate US is all I'm concerned with, and that question is easy to answer. You already know why.
And just because they invited us to bring our soldiers back in doesn't mean that they'll attack us if we aren't attacking them. They want us to put soldiers back in so that they can embarrass us once again. If we're dumb enough to accept the invitation, that's our fault...not theirs.
And you do have the solution. Mind your own business.
So you can't explain why they attack others who were leaving them alone but you would expect a different response if we leave them alone.
I am not addressing what we should or should not do. I am responding to your question as to why they hate us. Hate is the wrong word. They believe they are to rule the planet and that this is to be achieved through violence. They think they are doing good works, not hateful works. Again, no one can really explain the thinking, or find sound logical reasons, behind extremist ideologies. If think you can, you should contact the WH ASAP because no one else on earth knows.
This seems to be the whole point that supporters of the U.S. going back in seem to be missing....even if we went back in we'd accomplish nothing. We can't defeat ISIS no matter what we do. Our multi-hundred billion dollar defense budgets are useless in this matter.
Found this excerpt in a piece in the New Statesman that describes the situation perfectly perfectly:
The piece basically explains why it's futile for us to get on the ground there.

Again, these "others" they're attacking are there...not here.
So why should I concern myself over their activities in the Middle East?
We could win against ISIS if we fought smartly; that is, targeted, precision counterinsurgency tactics instead of the brute force hammer we've been using lately in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Do they have ISIS on their foreheads?
As soon as we hit the ground they can melt right back into the population. It's that easy.
Not when ISIS is being so bold, they're taking land and cities in Iraq. If the US military rolled in today, it'd be a total curbstomp. They would be obliterated within days.
You want to defeat ISIS, stop funding the OIL producing Arab nations, stop sending them weapons and stop nation building.
The only ones who are going to defeat ISIS is when they try and invade a country who actually has to defend itself and has the will and means to do it.
Unarmed people living in a lawless places are DOOMED.
You want to live you want freedom the price to pay is with your blood not your neighbors or another country.
If you love freedom you would rise up and protect it. Seems to me IRAQ soliders we training jumped ship at the moment of trouble and or joined ISIS.
They are getting funding from somewhere. WHERE? Find the connection then you know who the REAL enemy is.
Again, these "others" they're attacking are there...not here.
So why should I concern myself over their activities in the Middle East?
Why are you concerning yourself with it then? Why are you badgering people who have no say one way or another?
I'll say again, I am not saying what should or should not happen so don't twist my words.
ISIS won't leave you alone because they are following their God's instructions of dominating all other nations through violence. But let's say you leave them alone and they grow much larger and become a viable threat to us. They have to keep trying because it's their God's will. What then? Look at your thread title. You would surrender because you have already accepted defeat. I am just wondering if you have thought things through. No, you haven't. And you don't want rational discussion. This thread is one long emotional rant.
He was not allowed to fight an all out war for the purpose of winning, He fought a war to remove sadam .
Bush was the most powerful man on Earth. He could've fought any kinda war he wanted.
Don't make excuses for the Texas Goober.
