(32,217 posts)whether it is their view that Israel is taking their homeland, or that multi-national corporations are taking their resources. And if we are honest there is some truth in the losses they are feeling on those larger points. Whether that leads someone on a campaign of violence - well, it can if people get together and this is the best way they can think to respond. Whether rightly or wrongly they feel under siege and that Westerners are the problem.
This has been going on for decades and has only intensified. I'm very happy we have President Obama sitting in the White House today and not any Bush ... I truly have no clue how he should respond, but I do trust that he will make good choices. Or at least better than most would.
