The U.S. is a Dr. Frankenstein that has over and over again had to deal with the monster we build. In Iran, we financed the Shah's monarchy so that we had a political voice in the Mid-east and access to the oil. He was ousted by the moolahs so we buddy up with Saddam and give him all the weapons he needs (including chemical) for his 8-year war. We didn't care so much about what a tyrant he was then dropping bombs on his own people, as long as he kept Iran poor and preoccupied.
We buddied up with the taliban and taught them to fight and gave them weapons so they would fight off Russia who wanted to control the pipeline territory back in the 80's. (Rambo III, anyone?) Our military support of the oppressive Saudi royal family on holy land is the reason those planes were filled with Saudi nationals on 9/11.
Every orphan we have created in Iraq will be waiting for the opportunity to avenge his or her family. That kind of hate doesn't ever go away...
