[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2588286, member: 42"] Why are we tied to this country? Good question...I have no educated theory. My guesses, compared to the rest of the region: A) They look like us? B) They, mostly, believe in general concepts of freedom and liberty? C) Given the opportunity, they would [I]not[/I] cut off our heads after raping our wives and teenage sons simply because we are "non-believers" and the Imam said so? D) Historical, familial ties? E) They demonstrate how to create a functioning and flourishing society in that cess pool we call the middle east? Maybe there are some other hidden tyrannical causes, but from a layman's point of view I think that covers it. I'm sure that can and will be torn to shreds but there it is....(I do agree, especially in light of our current financial situation, we should not be writing checks we can't cash to support them. We have enough assets in the region to lend a hand without going overboard on Chinese loans. Some satellite imagery here, spare parts there etc...I've no problem with that.) [/QUOTE]
