US Foreign Policy

Thinking of it as a religious conflict only confuses things. Israel is an attempt by the Jews as a people to have their own country in their historic homeland. They did not do this by stealing the land, but by buying it and developing it. Most of the people who did this were not religious. Because most of the land had been owned by (Ottoman) absentee landlords, (Arab) tenant farmers did get displaced when the Jews began farming it. But the fundamental issue is that Arabs did not want to share the land with a non-Arab country. Although Arabs have been successful in portraying it as a religious battle, and in getting the support of most Muslim countries, it's really a conflict between Arabs and Jews, not Muslims and Jews. Probably the results would have been about the same if instead of Jews it had been (Muslim) Turks or Persians.

America is on the receiving end of this due to its need for oil and regional security. Israel has promoted American values and engaged in high-level diplomatic, military, technological, and economic exchanges with the United States. As a result, the United States has become a primary ally of Israel's and vice versa. Since the conflict is a national or ethnic one and not actually a religious one, it makes sense that America's grounds for supporting Israel are strategic, not religious.

Mohamad reza shah pahlavi aka aryamehr was the consistently the most pro US leader in middle east during his 37 reign. Iran's economy and military and anything in between was some how modeled Americans.He was the first Muslim leader to establish realtionship with Israel and urged president saddat of Egypt to make peace with the Jewish state. He aligned Iran's interest with that of USA in the region and was instrumental in keeping soviet union's ambitions in check by signing many military agreements with US. Ironically in his last interview with David forest in Panama , the shah blamed the US for his ouster. The shah had grown very powerfull and was begining to move away from US camp, this led to falling in favor with US and his fall from power. He did what he could to keep Iran growing and being in peace with its neighbors in that very volitale region.
Oil, plain and simple. U.S. and Britains have been tangled up in the oil business in the Mideast for many years. Brits started all this. Churchill was key, initially. Later, Truman refused to involve the U.S. but, later, Eisenhower accept Brit BS that they would turn Commies if U.S. didn't help. U.S. got tangled up in Iran and then with Israel and now Iraq and Afghanistan.

US feelings were "let Europe handle it's own affairs." When un-restricted sub warfare began sinking US ships...then it involved the US; and in 1917, the US went to war.

Many people like to relate the hatred extreme Muslims have for Americans to the support of Israel and to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. People who believe these are the reasons extreme Muslims hate America are, to put it politely, not well versed in the history. They hate America because we are a Christian nation, we believe in education, we believe women as being equal to men, we do not support shria law, and above all else we are not a Muslim nation. History proves these are the reasons extreme Muslims hate, the most recent example being Lebanon which was a Christian nation in the midst of an Arab world. Lebanon was a place where Muslims and Christians alike prospered until the immigration of more extreme Muslims drowned out the voice of moderate Muslims by execution and intimidation.

The Koran describes anybody not of Islam to be "Infidels". The Koran acknowledges the enmity and hatred of Christians, and instead of teaching acceptance, the Koran accepts the hatred and explains this will be the way of life until the resurrection.

Anybody who finds themselves asking this question, please don't simply take the answer here as fact, do research. I urge you to research what has happened in the past and dig further that what the mainstream media publishes. Once you have done that I am positive you will find yourself at a simple yet seemingly complicated resolution, they hate America becasue America is a Christian nation.

America is at war because of paranoia rapidly spreading throughout the minds of Americans, because of the 9/11 terrorist attack on The World Trade Center in 2001. The American government has issued this war because of the fear that another attack will occur. However, even though this reason does sound liable, thousands of Afghanistan citizens will lose their lives based on the actions of one colt group.

They are not neutral withing the Palestinian - Israeli conflict. They use the UN Security Council Veto whenever a Resolution against Israel comes up.

It led to the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, which declared the US as the dominant power in the Americas and opposed European colonization. The US became more focused on protecting its interests in the Western Hemisphere, leading to long-term interventionist policies and imperial ambitions, especially in Latin America.
