I did not say it was "all our fault". Why do they target us instead of primarily targetting the dictators? There are a number of reasons - but the one you're looking for is that they can overthrow as many local dictators as they please, but they will always be replaced by a new dictator being paid off by Western society. Dictators in the Middle East are a dime a dozen - take out one and a new one grows to replace it by virtue of Western financial support.

And this "America does everything wrong!" this is neo-lib nonsense. We're not completely clean but no one on earth is.

Again, I did not say we were completely at fault - but scout's post is stating that "we didn't go looking for trouble" - which is clearly false, unless you consider ignorance of the effects of our actions to be an excuse. I do not. Whether we intended to create trouble or not is irrelevant to the point that our actions HAVE created trouble for the Middle East - and they continue to do so.
