Living The Dream, I know what you are saying and there is no easy answers. Maybe if these countries requested aid or intervention from the US or other countries. We as a country got involved in something here in the Middle East that has been going on for centuries. It is their right to do what they feel they need to do, as long as it doesn't spill into our backyard. But then it did because we all know that OIL is KING and the world is a greedy place. On another note, I recently bought a book on Islam because I wanted to know more about it and I really don't know anyone here that I trust to tell me about Islam and it's teachings, but from what I gather in the first few chapters on the history of Islam, all of this jihad going on, is not really supported in the way it is being used by the faith. Now remember, I am not a Muslim, I am just in the beginning stages of this book, which I take from it that Islam was supposed to be a peaceful loving brotherhood of faith and worship. I haven't read anything about it is ok to kill someone because they don't believe in what you do.
