But the west:
1-Put gangsters like Arab leaders in charge; read about the "Lawrence of Arabia" for example, Britain gave these gangsters generals as gifts There was no elections.
2-Is supporting these regimes with weapons, military support and intelligence reports. These weapons are solely used against the citezens.
3-The west is hiding this truth, and instead focuses on one sickness the region has and that is Islamist,
4-Things like the Syria was proved how dangerous and vicious regimes like the Syrian regime are. BTW, The Saudi and Jordanian are even more bloody.
So the west takes a big part of the blame. If the west stopped supporting these Sykes-Picot regimes, these regimes will fall in a matter of days. Remember the 25th of Jan in Egypt?
1. Would you rather we were still in charge?
2. I would love to see sanctions and diplomatic ties cut with shitholes in the Middle East, but you know, oil is important for now, unfortunately. We also need to stop funding "opposition" groups.
3. Is it though? Regimes committing atrocities and other human rights violations against their citizens are well documented and often reported on the news. Politicians have openly admitted mistakes they made with Syria and Libya.
4. The West does not support the Assad government. If you're looking to blame someone, then try Putin or Hassan Rouhani.
