I agree with this assessment. It doesn't go just with this one poster. For example, many Trump supporters on this board and in general are saying that since the left is asking questions about what happens now after the assassination, then they are American-hating terrorists. It is wrong to judge Trump supporters on one person, but it also wrong and wildly inaccurate to say that half of the people in America hate America because they question the president. Both are pretty disturbing

Perhaps not in chronological order, but facts are facts, and each and every one initiated in the middle east, and by terrorist living in that area.

The 911 events.
The 1993 bombing of the world trade center.

The taking of 52 American hostages by Iran, and held for (I believe) close to, or more than a year.
The bombing of one of our military ships in Yemen.
The commandeering of two oil tankers in international waters, by the Iran military.
Iran not living up to the agreement of the nuclear pact they signed with this country, and other nations(which is why the president voided it).
Iran invading Iraq, soon after American troops left.
Iranian involvement in Syria, Lebanon.
Need I say more for you people to understand that it isn't going to end there.
You do realize that the lines I bolded were done by al Qaeda, financed by certain Saudis? So you should include Saudi Arabia in the OP about the ME countries the US should obliterate. I think you should add in Somalia (because of Mogadishu) and Afghanistan (because they allowed the Osama bin Laden to live there). Maybe throw in Pakistan because they have been playing both sides of the terror game and besides they have nukes. Why not just wipe out the entire Muslim world?

Sadly yes. Get off the oil sugar t*t we cant seem to get off of, and drop them altogether. You're on your own. Let them kill each other off.

No they hate us for our meddling over there since WWII ended. We prop up puppet governments, bring down other regimes, base troops over there, etc. Bin laden in particular began targeting us after U.S. troops were based in Saudi Arabia during the first war with Iraq.

That is true but al qaedas primary grievance as stated in their 1998 fatwa was the starvation death of a million Iraqis, mostly children, caused by years of sanctions.

In that respect its hard to judge our policy. Critics of the 2nd gulf war inevitably assert the war was unnecessary and everything was going fine. That is silly because it implies sanctions killing Iraqis and angering al qaeda was a permanent solution and they had little effect in ending saddams desire to possess and use WMD.

As for basing troops over there if you are informed on the petrodollars scheme which has been the basis for our economy for 47 years now you must know thats a necessity. Not just protecting the Royal family of Saud but ensuring the stabity of OPEC oil exports through the straits of hormuz.

The ignorance of Americans about why we are over there never ceases to amaze me every time conflicts arise in the ME. Do they think we put our military in harms way over there just for giggles? Do they think America came to control half the worlds wealth because we are so charming?

There is a price to pay for prosperity.

In this situation it helps to realize that Iran is not supported by the international community on its current policies and is acting as a rogue state. We are the good guys in this. The OPs ideas are obviously absurd but so are democrats using it for political capital against Trump.

So WTF was the point here?
