It's the self-righteous oversimplification that chafes me whenever you make one of these threads. That's all I've ever been saying.
Visit my personal profile, and see how many threads I wrote "against" Arab dictators alone and the severe amounts of brutality and torture they inflicted upon humanity.
But every time I want to criticize them, a western government is standing there in the shadows to support the Arab dictator either with weapons, or with political support. It became so redundant that the majority knows it now: the west never wanted peace in the Middle East or South America or anywhere outside its borders.
And step one is to divide an conquer. I never supported the donkey that allows the west to ride their back. But don't blame me if I criticized the wicked rider.
