William, the people you are speaking with do not get to see both sides of an issue as their media, for the most part, only show and justify the middle east position. If the other side of the issue is mentioned, it is scewed so that it is always wrong in the minds of the readers. They probably have no idea at all that the whole world knows that bomb grade nuclear science is being conducted underground in Iran while the Iranian leader grins and tells us it isn't happening.

Remember the reason the boneheads flew the planes into the world trade center? The best reason they could come up with was that America is arrogant. If that's the reason for starting war then we can easily deduce that the way of thinking in the middle east is quite different than it is here.
