CGM it doesn't matter if we crawled across the desert to kiss their asses they would find fault with our ways and our culture. And while I am all for respecting other people's culture (I truly am, I know many of you might not believe it but it's true) but where do we draw the line because there is a large vocal group of muslims that want us to change OUR culture to better suit their views. I understand trying to get these people to understand and even enjoy Democracy is a big culture shock and giving rights to women is a big culture shock but these are things that NEED to happen in order for these people to climb out of the stone age and become a part of the real world.
There are a big bunch of people in both western and Arab countries who think the other lot should change and be just like them and everything would be much better. What would actually make things much better is if the west got the fuck off the Arabian peninsula and the region in general and stopped interfering with and manipulating their governments and their oil. Because until they do the west, and mainly America, is rightly going to get the blame for said interference and suffer various acts of terrorism because of it.
