Quote: I hope you are not thinking I'm suggesting any action against Iran, because you misinterpret me then. I believe that "would be" the last straw to signal the pan-islamic Jihad.
No I was not saying you suggestes this, I just was pointing at the fact that Iran and Iraq used to be more moderate muslim states, nowadays both go more towards extremism. (Iran already for a long time of course).
The most extremist (in interpretation of Islam) people live in Saudi Arabia, but they happen to be our best friends.
The west can simply not expect the rest of the middle east will let iteself treat like this. There are enough people willing to force their extremistic views on the many poor and illeterate people over there, and as long as the only thing we do there is take their oil, and once in a while make some war, they wil never start loving us.
It looks more like we don't mind so much that they are extremists but more that they are poor extremists....extremists with money are OK.
