Hate & ignorance are the problem.
Sure we can blame US presence for the creation of terrorists, but that isn't true.
It is the PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY of EACH individual to be held ACCOUNTABLE for their OWN actions.
The Hindu Sri Lankan Black Tigers are a suicide squad. Not a US soldier in miles and their targets are the largely Buddhist government. The US didn't create them and their violence is their own.
Art your attitude, like much of the left on this issue, is seriously flawed.
If a teacher goes to a problem school in the ghetto and says he is going to help educate these kids that other teachers and educators have given up on...if the teacher is knifed by a student on his first day, is it the teachers fault?
By your definition it is.
Not by mine.
It is the student's fault.
If the ringleaders of the disruptive students form gangs and start beating up on other students - is it the teacher's fault?
By your definition it is.
Not by mine.
Iraq, like MANY other nations, is a land of many children. Their intellectual capacity, even at adulthood, seldom exceeds that of an 18-20 year old. Their predilection for violence is not the US' fault. It is not the Russians' fault or any other nations fault.
It is their own.
I can't make it any plainer than that. Each individual has to take responsibility for their own actions. When you or others insist the US is "responsible for the creation of terrorists" you give all these folks an out.
You are like the ghetto parent who says "that teacher brought the knifing upon himself. He should've left well enough alone."
Sure the kids prey on each other when the teachers don't show up and when a teacher does appear, the teacher becomes the momentary target of these kids ignorance and violence.
Same thing is true in Iraq. When the US wasn't there they preyed upon each other, genocide, torture, etcetera. Now the US and other nations are there and they attract the attention of this human waste - and still by FAR and large they are still preying upon each other.
When Mexican gangs kidnap American and Japanese businessmen, is it these businessmen's fault for "creating kidnappers". Of course not.
We have a bunch of mental morons who will exploit their environment no matter who they end up preying upon.
You and the left are giving these folks an excuse.
I wont.
