WWII was started mainly because Hitler began taking over countries and threatened the security of the other nations in Europe and Asia. The US did not become involved until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor which the Japanese has an alliance with Nazi Germany and Hitler. As for the war in the Middle East they have been fighting for hundreds of years as long as Israel has been an independent country. Israel has always been in some way under attack from the Palestinians whether it was physical or verbal. Both groups fundamental religious beliefs are different and this has caused the rift. I don't believe that the US should get involved in this simply because this was not like WWII where there really wasn't an equal playing field it was mostly Hitler and the Italian leader Mussonlini going around around bullying countries. WWII was not a religious war but more of a we want to rule the world War. However having said that I don't think that it is right that the Israelis or anyone for that matter are not able to live free from terror. I pray for all of the people there and hope that things will settle down.
I apologize if this sounded like a history lesson, I just don't want people to connect our involvement now to WWII. |
