Our government keeps sticking its "nose" into their business. It's been going on for at least 50 years. For instance, take Iran. The CIA planned a coup to overthrow the the elected government and installed the Shah back in the '50s. A little over 20 years later, mainly due to oppression under the Shah, a revolution took place and everyone's directing their hatred towards our country.
For some reason, your point of view appears to ignore the cause and wonder why those people hate us for reasons you can't understand.
Similar interference lead to similar consequences and similar atbreastudes throughout the Middle East and Latin America and some parts of Africa.
No.
It depends on how many people. Besides, it's already happened in the Middle East back in '48 and '67 and continues today.
I suppose that if I were to go on a killing rampage as a result, taking out civilians from that group whereever I go, then people from that group who hold view that corresponds to what your views are with regards to actual events would brand me a person and say that I'm mentally ill. They'll conclude this because they, for some reason, do not understand why I "hate" them.
Doesn't matter. The reason exists and we're not doing anything to address it. Therefore the status quo remains and people get end. If that's the outcome you want, then so be it.
Because, like may governments in the Middle East, they're more interested in money than what the people want. The motives behind the Saudi Government's decision to allow us to maintain military basis is no different than Saddam's motive to embezzle from the oil-for-food program.
Probably cause we were giving the government some substantial reward (trade agreements, arms deals, aid money, etc.).
I suppose we have no right to be offended by what the corporate officials at Enron did since their rationale was to get a lot of money out of the deal. Unlike corporations, there is no accountability for a foreign government.
