I laughed at that, too.

I also laugh at the thought that it's our "meddling" in the middle east that causes Muslims to hate us. Really? Then explain why we've had problems with Muslims since the very beginning of our country. Please...I can't wait.

And for those of you who say we should be out of the middle east, no "war for oil", etc... Then you'd better get ready for a radical change of lifestyle because if there is anything worth fighting a war over, it's oil. A steady supply for the next several decades at least is absolutely essential to our security and our way of life. I doubt anyone can point to anything in their home that isn't somehow connected to oil.
