Really, so blame the west for the problems in the middle-east? I doubt the Arab spring is our fault, which is the cause of most of their problems today. Iraq aside, we've done nothing wrong. This excuse is just a way for the left to try to blame the west for the world's problems.

Ha. That has been one of the best attemps to get from under our responsability I've seen yet.

But seriously. The west has been mucking it up since the Sykes-Picot treaty. Drawing some artificial lines in the sand, then installing weak regimes that were replaced with Ba'ath regimes later on. The war in Iraq to unseat one of these regimes, the intervention in Afghanistan, the unseating of the Taliban regime that was installed with US aid (and weapons). The attempt at intervention in Iran. The desastrous interventions in Libya, Syria and Iraq, which, due to the installation of a weak government in Iraq, led to the creation of Daesh. The support of Saudi-Arabia which has been destabilizing the region for decades for its own personal gain, support for Turkey as a NATO member which also seeks to cement it's own interests in the region to the detriment of the Kurds.

Face it, the NATO is wading up to its chest in blood.

So its middle-eastern nations destabilizing the middle-east, and yet it should still be our fault? I don't care if we're supporting them, because they're the ones causing problems. And BTW, the US and Britain don't make up the entire western world...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
