Giving up bombing is relatively straightforward to accomplish, but
ceasing to interfere is another matter. The long history of
relations among Western and Muslim countries will not soon be
forgotten, and memories can be as interfering as physical presence.
Memories of loved ones and fellow citizens now gone compounded with
ill-health and unexpected disease in the wake of war activities
suggest that multiple generations now alive will continue to be
interfered with for quite some time to come, even if the unlikely
event of all troops returning to their home countries were to
occur. Additionally, the presence and desired use of Middle Eastern
natural resources, and the presence of nuclear materials in some
Muslim countries together practically guarantee continued future
interest by Western countries in Muslim countries' assets and
activities. Nonetheless, your suggestion that changes in Western
behavior might lead to relationship results more favorable to
Western interests likely is correct. Just as a parent who treats
children cruelly, and is rewarded with a cruel successor generation,
teaches the lesson that better parenting skill yields better
offspring outcomes, so it is likely the case that, over a period of
decades, better international behavior and diplomacy will yield
better and more productive international relationships.<div class="im"><br>
