Protection of U.S. Population a Must

Kamala Sarup - 6/5/2007

The U.S. is obligated to defend its people and its democracy, so doing it directly defends the people and interests of the U.S. democracy. Since Middle East is of vital importance to the U.S., it follows that the US will protect the countries like Israel and many other countries do provide significant of value to the U.S., so the U.S. will spread democracy.

However, there are so many terrorists willing to die for fundamentalism principles that, because of their large numbers, the ultimate outcome of this war will be indecisive, in my opinion.

On the other side, therefore, the only reason for the U.S. to establish democracy in the Middle East has always been to protect its democracy and the oil supply, which a U.S. consortium of companies obtained in the 1933 Saudi oil concession. Moreover, the Europeans and U.S. were in the Middle East to spread Democracy. U.S. supported Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war because the Iranians threatened the oil supply to the West by their overthrow of the Shah in 1979. However, when Saddam became too ambitious and threatened to control Kuwait as well as killing his own people, then he had to go.

If some important countries would cooperate in waging this war against terrorism abroad, it might be winnable, but they have domestic problems, and are afraid of U.S. commercial and political democracy in the Middle East, so they are limited in their willing to fight. The war is pretty much a U.S. affair. In addition, the "establishment of democracy ", etc., U.S. media publish because Americans do really care whether Muslims adopt them and leaders want the political forms that limit their power.

Even the London attack will further enrage the western powers against radical terrorists and possibly unite them more in a common cause. I hope that will be the case.
