Kicking Off in Paris Again

If it wasn't for the US, we wouldn't have a War on Terror.

Meaning what exactly?

Swings and roundabouts. They are powerful but dangerous and erratic, and we have no way of telling which way they will swing or how it will affect us.

It's certainly not a utopia. Our country might be "giving in to lefties" but we don't get monthly school massacres.

The supreme head jhiadette was from just up the road from me, she went to a really expensive girls school about a mile away.

I hope she is on the kill list. But the excuse that these people are all disaffected working class Muslims is mistaken.

Of course blam the Americans. Thd easiest target for liberal hypocrites

Who armed and trained the Afghan rebels against the Russians in the early 80s?
They went on to become the Taliban and took the country back centuries.
Who sold Saddam his weapons, including chemical weapons that he was using on the kurds?
Who created the power vacuums in Iraq and Libya by getting rid of Hussein and Gaddafi?
Who armed and trained the rebels fighting against Assad in Syria?
They went on to become ISIS

But, no, the USA have played no part in this and that's from someone who's anything but a liberal. I'm a realist and if you can't see what America are up to, then there's no help for you.

The middle east would have been a utopia of peace and prosperity had the Americans not intervened?
