Yes....hatred for each other so why in the fuck did we get involved? 

We NEVER should have beyond bombing the training camps in Afghanistan and maybe some special forces to kill Bin Laden.

While we've fucked up plenty nothing we have done has caused the hatred between Muslims.   They've been repressing and killing each other off long before we got involved in the ME. 

So you dont think occupying their lands and killing thousands of them (including innocents) has caused any bad feelings?

The world was a different place after WW2.   Should have we stuck our nose in?   No but realize we were less than a decade removed from WW2 and communism was by far and away the leading threat to the world and peace.   GB and the US were trying to stop it from getting a stranglehold in the ME.   Its not all that different from the Fascism that brought us WW2 and the countries that helped defeat it didn't want another one.

Sorry but I don't agree with the word occupying at least not as a mission objective long term.   Again we've done plenty wrong but in the end whether oil or peace is the reason we were trying to give countries (Iraq/Afg) a better way of life.   The intention was never to make them US territories.   Reasonable justification?   No because its clear they don't want peace and can't accept peace even between themselves.   The Sunni/Shia fight has been going on for 1400 years since the passing of the prophet.

Take an hour sometime and watch a documentary on Saddam H.   He was really, really evil.  

Should Germany, Italy and Japan hate us?

So toppling democratically elected governments and installing dictators was the best way we could think of to prevent fascism? 

:lol:

That is the most retarded view of our entire middle east policy I have heard yet. So we spend trillions of dollars to give them a better life by bombing the shit out of them and destabilizing their govt? Is that the purpose of our military? And what better life has any of them had? We have created a refugee crisis like never seen since WW2. Holy fucking retarded dude, seriously...

Again.   Different time coming out of WW2.   The spread of communism was a real thing.   I'm not saying the method of overthrowing Mosaddegh was justifiable I can just understand the reasoning giving the time in history it occurred and what was going on around the world.  

I love how everyone likes to look at things thru modern day lenses instead of thinking about what things of might of been at the time.

I agree and have said Iraq and Afg are mistakes.   Nothing wrong with agreeing with the initial intentions but not agreeing with implementation or results.   Done again we should have never went in Iraq and only used air power and some special forces in Afg.
