What I think Americans don't understand, a truth Jack Nicholson would tell them they don't want to know, is the nature of the hostilities. And Christians would be doing the exact same thing for the same reasons Muslims are if the situation were reversed.

The Muslims see this as a war against their religion and their religious values. The US is over there attacking Islam, stomping all over their culture, insulting their God.

Christians are mandated to fight to the death anyone who violates their religious values, anyone who would eradicate Christianity. However, I don't think Christians have the faith to do so. I think they simply aren't religious.

The genius of this thing is that the US weapons manufacturers know that for every Muslim killed 5 more warriors are created, and the fight and consumption of weapons can go on forever. The rich will get richer, the poor just as dead, and the shrinking middle class will continue to shrink.

In the meantime the population is stirred up and there is a lot of support for killing them.

And we are over there killing them, on their land, in their country. They aren't over here.
