"Many of the citizens killed in those countries are more than often later found to have been murdered by occupying forces, who in their attempt to get away with it, throw the blame on "Islamic terrorists". How very convenient."

Source? Even if this is true, this does not negate the fact that it is often times Muslim fundamentalists who are to blame, unless, of course, all of that is a complete fabrication.



"Another thing that happens is that some of these "innocent civilians" are not so innocent at all. The Muslim freedom fighters (what the U.S govt always call "terrorists") kill them only because they are found colluding with the Western invaders."

From what I've read, many Muslims collude with Western forces because they want to get rid of the violent terrorists who are a threat to their lives. Also, many feel oppressed by the traditional status quo (which, apparently, is what the Muslim Freedom Fighters are fighting for), so they welcome the new change. I, for one, would rather die than to have to submit to that status quo--many Muslims are progressive, and no longer want to be ruled by an archaic theocracy.



"Let's hypothetically suppose China had invaded the U.S. You would probably feel like shooting any American collaborators YOURSELF! You really need to experience that before you can understand it?"

That is a poor analogy because each of those countries--US, China, and Mid-East countries--have a completely differnt political atmosphere; the US invading the Mid-East has vastly different implications than China invading the US.


Again, many people in the Mid-East are welcoming Westerners because they are tired of the oppressive theocracy, and would like to see some change. I seriously doubt that many Americans would welcome any sort of change that China may envision for, and forcibly impose on us.

Whether or not I would feel like shooting American collabterators in this hypothetical situation largely depends on what their motivations are--if they are doing something that I agree with, then I would not feel like killing them. If they, however, were merely posing a threat to my way of like, and if I didn't want my way of life to be forcibly changed in any way, then yes, I would feel like killing them.
