I think there is corruption all over the world. Before 9/11 no one cared about the middle east! All governments are corrupt, so called Christians "neo-conservatives" that cause nothing but problems. Start a war for Oil. The Zionists (Christian and Jews)have commited many crimes that they will never expose.Zionist Jews have so much control over the USA. People need to read up on Israel's history before they go taking sides. Why doesn't the media ever say anything about MOSSAD and the numerous crimes they have commited and continue to commit? Oh that's right b/c they are Jews! Israel is out to benefit itself, and no one else, funny to think of them as allies... history always repeats itself! There are good people in every culture, race and religion. Unfortunately, in the Middle East they have a lot of issues to work on, I don't see how a civilization can grow under such awful ruling and chaos!

What you have said here is so true, and it is well-considered. There is one thing that I have begun to doubt though, as people speak of "moderate" Muslims I wonder if there are even a small quantity of Muslims that are moderate where Israel and Jews are concerned.

I wonder if those who wait for them to speak up do not wait in vain.

The crazy thing is that most of my friends who have moved here from a life in the South need to be re-educated with respect to their unknown prejudices. So ingrained are they that these unique racisms had tended to go undetected by my friends. They didn't consider themselves racist. They support civil rights and the promise that all men are created equal. They were embarrassed by the Klan. And yet they believe Jews are naturally crafty and scheming. They fear to go to markets primarily shopped by Latinos, as brown equals dangerous. They think that Japanese are naturally smarter.

Yeah, the Middle East has a ton of work to do. And Israel doesn't do itself any favours by some of its activities as well (the settling and treatment of the Palestinians, for instance).
