'Questions That Need to be Asked'- US Embassy Protests and Riots by Kenny Brown


Rioters outside the U.S. Embassy in Egypt



Is it possible that we are not blaming the right people for the cause of these protests and riots at US Embassies in the Middle East?



Is it not possible that decades of US Foreign Policy have created this hostile situation?

Are the media, politicians and government detracting from the fact that the United States Government financially and militarily supported the regimes that were overthrown last year in the Arab Spring?

Could the citizens of these Middle Eastern countries finally be fed up with the oppressive tactics utilized by US intelligence and military personnel to uphold US interests over the interest of the countries people?

Did the Arab Spring bring about enough courage in these oppressed people to finally take it one step further and stand up to the problem behind the curtain?

Have US citizens ever thought about the idea that these Islamic protestors do not hate our freedoms but despise that theirs are denied daily?

Could Post World War 2 US Foreign Policy be a massive creator of terrorists?

Do US citizens truly know what The Golden Rule means?

Are we witnessing the beginning of the end for US control of Middle Eastern governments?

And the most important question of all….

If you kick a dog long enough will it turn around and bite you?

  1. Insightful. It's just a shame that the people in the best positions to answer those questions don't even want to talk about them

  3. Is this just a contrarian rant? What is your purpose here? Do you seek to educate? If yes, don't tell me posing these questions is meant to inspire one to research these topics. You are not the wise man who answers in riddles and is not effected one way or another by the listener's response to those riddles. Take an active approach and provide information, because these issues are worth it, and because we know you care about reaching out to us. Be an educator, not a guru.
