Totally misguided.The primary reason there's war in the Middle East today is because the US and other Western Countries instigated it and keep it going.
Care to substantiate your opinion?
To be fair I'll point out the obvious you must overcome; if the West is to blame then why are the vast majority of the victims people that live and share a culture and religion with the perpetrators? You must also have solid evidence that warfare wasn't known to this region of the world before 1776 (ignoring of course that it took over a century for the U.S. To have any meaningful influence in international affairs).
Your move. I think I've done my best to make sure you properly consider your next reply and not look so ignorant.
