Funny, we can't make Afghanistan or Iraq turn out the way we want, with decade long occupations and support,
but, at the same time, every other dictatorship in the ME, is because we are supporting them?
Man, where did all those brilliant...masterminds go, when we really needed them? Is there a massive no talking WALL between the MASTERMINDS of Dictator Supporters, and the Military? LOL!!!
You don't see the geopolitical situation do you Correll. No surprises there. Do you still think 9-11 happened because 'they hate our freedom' a la Bush?
And you read way too much into my post.
I'll spell it out for you. How would you feel if you lived in a country where the elite tell you to do one thing (no drinking, no extra marital affairs, women can't vote or drive etc. And if you do any of those things, the punishments are extremely severe) while they do another. Go and party in neighbouring countries like the UAE and Oman and ignore the rules they make the rest of their citizens adhere to. Then, to add salt to the wound, does the country that claims to be the leader of the free world condemn this country and its leaders? No, it supplies it with arms and the means to control the population. You think AQ targetted the US because it hated your freedoms? No, it saw the US for the hypocrite it was and was making a point about what it thinks about enablers of dictatorships in the ME. Got your attention, too. As I said, without the US enabling the House of Saud there would be no 9-11. With no 9-11 there is no Iraq or Afghanistan quagmire. The problem with you neocon, Deplorable whackadoodles, you have a simplistic mindset - "We good, them bad". You don't delve - nor do you care - about the reasons things happen, which is why you have made a similar mistake in the ME as you did in Vietnam - putting your nose in a place where it wasn't welcome. No doubt, the rest of you chickenhawks will be awaiting the next foreign policy disaster so your masters at the military industrial complex can pull on your ample strings.
