People fear for their lives their everyday so to say they don't would be wrong. I understand you thought I was talking about the whole region, I wasn't. I still don't remember you defending on any occasion....I do remember you telling me to look on to the other side of politics in the Bill O'reilly thread I made a while back.

If we are talking about Iraq and major cities like Baghdad like I stated where there is violence all over the place and attacks at sudden moments then they would be people who fear their lives. I mean, It's not like I know exactly how they feel but when violence is around you, you will generally fear for your life. Hey, I could be wrong. Life over there could be just peachy and anything negatively violent I see on television could be fake and misleading.

What attacks and sudden violence are you talking about? Maybe every few years something might happen...in Cairo for example...or Riyadh...but I don't know where your getting it from...Your just exaggerating whats on the news.

You are not talking about Iraq? Oh well I guess that is why you brought up Cairo with question marks. How can you not think that I am talking about Iraq when I already stated I was and mentioned Baghdad?
You said the middle east is a mess, where people have to worry about suicide attacks and bombings. I then pointed out that most of the middle east is not violent. Then you point out how Iraq is violent I said obviously Iraq is a mess because it's a war zone ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bottom line, I'm not talking about Iraq, I don't care about Iraq, you said that people in the middle east fear bombings and violence in big cities, whenever I say something like that and question your thinking you always revert back to Iraq....

In the entire middle east in general (a large area) people are generally safe. There are alot of safe countries that are not involved in war and excessive violence but again I am not talking about the whole entire middle east.
BCB, whether or not their fears are legitimate, they are still fears. Remember how terrified a lot of the country was after 9/11? Imagine if there were terror attacks every day how nervous and afraid for their lives people would be, even if they had never seen one of the bombings.check out some people's blogs on this site. Like all sources take it with a grain of salt, but it's interesting.http://electroniciraq.net/news/iraqdiaries.shtml
Iran isn't that big of a threat. They don't have the balls to directly attack the USA, if anything, they'd use a surrogate, that is the biggest threat.
