your "question"? your question seems to have been ----"has some Syrian been spitting on your sidewalk" ----the answer is NO. I have never been to Hawaii and would not be heartbroken if I never did get to go there. Did the bombing of Pearl Harbor have any effect on me? NOPE. Would it be a tragedy for me if Russia and Iran dominated all of the seaports of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean----NOPE. Would the reestablishment of the Ottoman caliphate
be a tragedy for me? Not at all. I have never been to London either----would massive bombing thereof bother me? ---not
really
We can question the background of WWII but the Japanese attacked American's on an American Naval base on American territory.
If another country would attack Puerto Rico I would support actions in return. Syria, Iraq, Yemen, etc never did a thing to us. We attacked them in their countries.
We are the terrorists.
