Paul as usual leaves out the crucial issue its US INFLUENCE on the islamic people that is a threat to the islamic extremists. Its our influence of FREEDOM and PROSPERITY on the oppressed people of the ME that the islamic extremists who want power and control over all that are threatened by. Yes Im sorry to say its that simple!
Oh and Ron it didnt start in ’53 with our “blessing” of the Shah in Iran. It started turn of the century when Americans stepped foot on Arab soil. The hatred originated with the Wahhabis and continued on through the years as American/Arab relations increased which incited and angered the religious extremists….
