"100 years" in Iraq? "let slip the dogs of war"

                            

 

Is it that John McCain (McCane?) is woefully ignorant of Middle East history,

or he just doesn't give a damn?

 

The wars between the Christian and Muslim powers starting with the Crusades over 1000 years ago sowed the seeds of mistrust and hatred that persists to this day, and it's worst manifestations of our time are  9/11 and the Iraq war.

 

One of Osama bin Laden's prime motivations to attack the United States was the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia, his native country,and the great majority of the hijackers were Saudi Arabians.

 

I feel certain that the longterm presence of US armed forces in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East will continue to fan the flames of hatred and war that have gone on so long.

 

We MUST find a way to diminish our dependence on Middle East oil by creating other sources of energy, using energy more efficiently, and using less of it without damaging our economy.

 

I believe this can and must be done to save our country from the dogs of war.
