Have any of those marvelous Arabs accomplished anything?

I think that's part of the problem. America has spent too much of our tax dollars and lives on the battlefield for this agenda or that. Perhaps it would be prudent to just live and let live... or die, if that's what the middle east is striving for.

Foreign policy should equate to "don't screw with our borders, we won't screw with yours" and leave it at that. Instead of funding a war machine that can't seem to accomplish the peace it sets out for, focus on the American people, jobs, healthcare, education... priorities greater than the acquisition of crude oil at wholesale.

The fighting in the middle east 'Arab spring" (Arab awakening) has MOVED HERE.

Those marvelous Arabs have taught us, how a revolution needs to be fought.

Now its our turn to revolt against our oppressors, and fight for our freedom and build a governmental system. that is of the people by the people and for the people.

whereas today its of the rich by the rich and for the filthy rich.

if the Arab re-Awakening is emulated then how about some violence?
