That's like saying all the stuff Japan did in China and in WWII was our fault due to our active trading with them, which allowed them to build up their military.

First of all, no it's not. Second, my whole point was that it was dangerous to start saying one side did so and so, and that we didn't.
Don't start pointing fingers, as the US (like EVERYONE) is guilty of dealing with evil people to further their aims; either political, economic or simply personal.
