The boogyman is always the excuse to go in there and blow shit up. Communists? Terrorists? There is always an excuse.
It's too bad there are so many who fall for the excuses and continuously try to cover the atrocities that are committed by West's foreign policy, which is highly influenced by the military industrial complex, oil companies and foreign governments like Israel and more recently, Saudi Arabia.
I think we should leave these people alone. Give them some time and let them figure shit out. When we prop up dictators and blow shit up, creating chaos, we obstruct development of economy, science, human rights and culture in general. We have been pushing development and cultures back by generations with our actions in the Middle East in the past century. These countries never get a chance to flourish and we, the West are complicit in that.
