Mitt Romney: 'I would arm the Syrian rebels'

30. You really need to marry someone from the M.E. and then get back with me.

Lets try a different tact of logic here....

Would you agree with this.......

1) The vast majority of common folks in the M.E are uneducated (not talking city dwellers, but dirt farmers)

2) Would you not agree that most people in the M.E. currently are prone to reaction to what their Imam tells them?

3) Would you not agree that ANY COUNTRY would find it offensive for an outside party to meddle in it's affairs?

4) Would you not agree that uneducated people are very easy to get "riled up" by someone with nefarious reasons? I.e. an Imam with a political agenda?

5) Would you not agree that since Syria has been a closed off country being controlled by a non-western friendly dictator that most Syrians would treat us with suspicion?

6) Would you not agree that getting involved in a civil war in Syria would be a war we could hardly afford at the moment?

In an interview that I watched with someone who actually spoke pashtun, a villager was quoted as saying "I don't care about the Taliban, I don't care about the U.S., I wish they would all go to hell and we could get on with our lives.

I think you will find that is the sentiment of most of the common people you will meet in the M.E.
