What a frustrating mess. I agree with an assessment that says American politicians, and by extension its citizens to a certain degree (although I personally believe we have far less to do with our governance than we are led to believe) created much of this problem. I say "much" because I believe ISIS and other militant Muslims attacking America(ns) is the result of our interference and melding. I do NOT believe for a minute that if we had not interfered all would be well. It would simply mean America(ns) would be far less likely to be a target of the fighting. It has gone on for millennia, and I am not sure what will stop it outside of a miracle.
I do agree with you that Americans, in general , were against the war. But I believe that things would have been far better than it is today if the US had not intervened. Anyway, I hope things turn to the better, although I don't have much hope.
Thanks for your feedback :)
