OK. I don't know whether he was or not, but that analogy still holds. We are creating terrorists by our actions.

No. If you had noticed what the Iraqi insurgency used to do, before we crushed it, you would not be trying to develop this narrative.

They killed everybody, beheading the children and even shooting the livestock, and buried them in shallow graves.

It is once again the necessary violence of mob rule. The ones with the biggest guns and the will to use them against innocents, are the ones who get to run things. This is unacceptable and will only lead to more violence. The old policy was to support it if the end leader was friendly with the west. THAT is the corrupt ideology you should be fighting against as it only leads to more death and destruction.

We never should have been there in the first place. We drew first blood. And I agree with your last statement, to the degree that we should not do business with governments that are corrupt and abuse their own people.
