    You’re right, what I’ve described above is the same as what you’re talking about. Good job not noticing the differences which were clearly meant to mislead.

        The US is merely the latest to try and control the region. And their attempt didn’t end any better than any of the previous attempts.

          For a big part, yes. Overthrowing democratic governments, funding radicals and bombing civillians tends to make people join the side that is seen as the enemies of the culprits of these crimes.

        What? This country didn’t allow education for women long before the US ever set foot there

        That’s some mental gymnastics. I dislike the US going abroad with their military as much as the next non-US person, but if I had to choose one instance where they weren’t the biggest dicks on the battlefield, it would be Afghanistan.

      It’s too late. Americans have adopted the ‘brown people need to solve their own problems’ mantra for this generation.

      Come back in 20 years when things are so shit we can no longer look away.
