The true reason the US Military is in the Middle East, has nothing to do with either supporting The State of Israel or procuring oil. If the US Military were not there, the US Military would, itself, break up along Racial and Ethnic Lines, and they would start shooting each other. America would fall next. That is precisely why the US supports The State of Israel so much (or, at any rate, pretends to).

That's some statement. What evidence do you have to back it up?

Call it intuition. Besides, there is much conflict among Americans, over race and ethnicity, and have been since the 1920's. These have taken the forms of Prohibition, efforts of Anglo Saxons to stereotype Ethnics as for the most part drunkards, the conflicts between the various Mafias and the State over said Prohibition, and most infamously the lynchings of Negroes at the hand of The Ku Klux Klan. Ergo, external wars are usually needed as a distraction from unrest at home. US Military Involvement, in the Middle East, is perfect for this, too.

The thing is, though, America didn't splinter along racial lines prior to American involvement in the Middle East. If anything, our conflict with Islamic extremism and despotism has justified racist elements to attack minorities.

Hmmm. How do you figure that?

Watch the news. Racists have upped their attacks on people of the Muslim faith, or even who look Middle Eastern, since our involvement in that part of the world. Then of course they have to include blacks and Jews.

Call it "Nonsense".

Conflict between the races in America has been going on since America declared its independence in 1776.

Evidence, please?  Prohibition was enacted in response to religious opposition to drunkenness, debauchery, vice, and other forms of "fun" and enjoyment.

That has been going on since the first Anglo-Saxon met the first Norman sometime before the year 1066 A.D.

This conflict was primarily between those who enjoyed criminal profit and those who enforced legal taxation.  After all, Al Capone was arrested on Tax Evasion, not race discrimination.

The KKK was founded in 1865 and began it's lynchings of Africans at that time.  Prohibition began 55 years later in 1920.  The KKK's activities continue to this day, and have little (if anything) to do with prohibition.

Another falacious conspiracy theory.
