Cause and effect my friend, cause and effect. It's not so much a "blame issue" as it is an issue of having proof of the danger of unintened consequences. For example, we should be able to see the trail from our interventionism to the creation of terrorist directing their hatred towards the west. I mean if another nation constantly messed around with our internal politics , encouaging coups and armed dangeously unstable factions against one another how would you feel? The terrorist actions are theirs to own up to, however , we can stop repeating the mistakes that lead to those actions.
Just like if you go into a bad neighborhood flashing hundred dollar bills around and you get mugged the perp is still the guilty one but next time you would alter your behavior. But our government doesn't do that. So either the ME we see today is EXACTLY what the government and their puppet masters want OR our strategy over decades has been "Barney Fife" level incompetent.
Neither explanation makes me feel safer , how about you?

Jesus Christ Ransom, I've answered this repeatedly but let me dumb it down for ya. ISIS poses virtually no threat to America , not here anyway. You can disagree , but accept the fact that I have answered before you tell me about how ISIS killed millions on American soil and are marching on Washington . Oh wait, they aren't doing those things? They are however , within their region, considerably more powerful since we declared war on terrorism. Just like drugs are more available since we declared war on drugs and we've never had so many poor people as we do now after declaring war on poverty. Can you see the pattern? The point? Or should I use crayons?
Well then and for the love of God, we'll not assign the government a war on your education. I mean, if it's going to result in you being even more uninformed and wrong, make things even worse. You are the single most entertaining member of this forum, donttread. Some are close, but close counts in grenades and nuclear weapons only.
