To put it plainly, people do not like to be messed around. The peoples of the Middle East are no different to the rest of us in this respect.
People who are interfered with tend to react to that; most of us learned this at school. Stop supporting American neo-colonialism in the Middle East and terrorist threats will reduce. The additional bonus would be that British soldiers would not be killed in America’s wars.
