so that explains the numbness in most people's wallets...Money is like a country's blood. If large corporations don't serve the purpose of pumping in money into the country's economy, there is no use for them.

The thing we all have with the middle east we can thank King Arthur and the crusades for, for some reason the Muslims have been trying to kill us all ever since somebody tried to ram Catholic religion down their throat,
I think really got worse when we started staying there and never leaving, they want to be left alone, I say after its all one, leave those people alone.
All we need is a president that will say, were gonna leave you alone if you leave us alone, and actually do it if you notice they have no respect for anybody who leaves before job is finished
Umm, King Arthur actually lived (if he ever lived at all) long before any of Crusades and the Crusades actually have very little to do with the modern issues between Muslims (or Arabs anyway) and the rest of the world. What drives the Muslims/Arabs crazy is that the nations that make up the First World are non-Muslim and successful while theirs are obviously not. Without the revenue from oil and natural gas, most Arab states would be miserable backwaters - and some of them are even with the money!
If, as they believe and insist, that they are the Chosen People of God and Mohammed was the Final Prophet, then THEY should be running the world and be far more successful than any infidels or combination thereof. But they are obviously not and have not been successful for several centuries. Don't believe me, try reading What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East by Bernard Lewis (or almost anything else he has written, the man is a really tremendous Middle East Scholar)
Umm, the last I looked the British left their Middle East colonies, protectorates etc. in 50 to 40 years ago. The US never had any and while we supported the Shah (which the Iranians are apparently still mad about) we had no forces in the region until we were invited into Saudi Arabia by that government (we also helped liberated Kuwait from a fellow Muslim (and total creep) named Sadam Hussein, which apparently is a crime as well :???. That's a large part of what drove Osama bin Ladin to found Al Qaeda if I recall correctly - the presence of non-Muslim troops (US and others) in Saudi Arabia. Their crime was to be there and help defend that country, even though most of them were far away from any holy sites and they took (sometimes ridiculous) pains to not offend their hosts.
The other thing that drives some of them crazy is the US (and sometimes, Europe’s) support for Israel - another non-Muslim, and successful, state and the only fully functional democracy in the region, besides Turkey (which is a secular Muslim state).
If only it were that simple. Remember the radical elements attacked us (the West). You are totally correct about your last point however, strength is respected, which is something prospective US Presidential candidates should think hard about before they decide to cut and run
