Are you forgetting all of the Coptic Christians who have been and continue to be slaughtered? And are you forgetting the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Turks who almost obliterated Armenian peoples from the face of the earth?
Apparently you believe that all Americans, except minorities, are guilty of the worst atrocities and we deserve to die?
I am amazed that you read that post and came away from it thinking this response. I truly am.
For the last 75 years (since oil was discovered there), the U.S. has been meddling in the political affairs of these Arab/Muslim oil-rich nations. We have backed coups and installed puppet tyrants. We have instigated wars and back both sides so that neither side could win. We do everything we can to keep the governments there weak, in spite of all their oil money, by selling them antiquated military equipment and limiting their ability to use them (no spare parts, and no training). Yet we arm them well enough for them to keep their own people in line, and to keep their neighbors all nervous and suspicious of each other.
But after 75 years of our meddling, the people have universally come to resent us. And many of these weak, paranoid leaders (that we helped install) have run off the rails. They have so abused their own people so severely that they have been deposed, leaving a power vacuum in nations full of very angry, resentful people, divided against each other by politics and religion. Muslims who both hate each other, and hate us, because of the generations of strife that we encouraged and helped facilitate.
Now it's all blowing up. Three nations in a row have collapsed into bloody chaos in just the last few years, and the remaining nations are in a panic to keep control of their own countries. And in this environment, the most ruthless will rise to the top of the food chain. And that's exactly what's happening.
And the truth is there is next to nothing we can do about it, because we still make all our decisions based on our own greed and self-interest, and everyone in that part of the world knows it. So we have no trust, whatever, in the region, and if we dare to intervene, they will either unite with the ISIS killers to fight against us, or they will fight against both the ISIS killers AND us.
