That is entirely unsurprising and explains much.

There's that evasion of responsibility through unsubstantiable claim of victimhood thing again.
Quote:Did you know that if every arab investor pulled their money out of the USA that your whole economy would collapse?
While such is improbable to the point of being unworthy of consideration, the full withdrawl of Arab investment from the US economy would be a major inconvenience, with negative ramifications throughout the global economy (including the Arab World - in which note, BTW, that while the Arab nations predominantly are overwhelmingly Islamic by population, the nations with the largest Islamic populations are not Arab), but hardly would it "collapse" the US economy. Foreign investment in the US, despite currently low-by-comparison US interest rates, is driven by the fact the US economy is, historically has been, and for the foreseeable future promises to remain the largest, most stable, most diverse, and most robust economy on the planet, a circumstance occasioned by numerous factors and without reasonable prospect of significant change.
Quote:Why does the US take so much effort into educationg, courting and assisting the regimes of the middle east? Like Bin Laden, Sadaam Hussain, The Saudi royals etc.?
Your question, apart from its unsubstantiable implied claims, evidences a faulty, woefully oversimplistic understanding of global politico-economics.
Quote:Its sad but true that manipulation, money and power have ways of destroying people.
Indeed - and nowhere on the planet is such evidenced more clearly than in the all-but-universally oppressively oligarchic Islamic world. Where are Islamic states pouring money and resources into alleviating poverty, ignorance, disease, and oppression? Where is the outrage from the Islamic world for Islamic-derived terrorism? Where in the Islamic world is the outrage for totalitarian government? Where in the Islamic world is there active effort and forward-looking unity of purpose in the interest of improving the plight of those peoples held in thrall to Islamic oligarchy?
