The West cannot leave the region cuz of Israel and Jewish agenda.

For those who say it is un-american for US to reject \u2018refugees\u2019, I would say it is un-american for American to pursue foreign policy that creates these \u2018refugees\u2019 in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Neo-imperialism is un-American.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments: In a way, the policy of INVITE is linked with INVADE.
