[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 673700, member: 56232"] There is a vast difference between saying US policy helped create an environment that allowed these people to rise and directly blaming them for it. The Islamic extremism in that part of the world can't be put down to US policy, it's the people who live there. You then have surrounding states like Iran and Saudi Arabia who happily destabilise the region on a regular basis. Much as I hate to use the analogy, it's like blaming France for the Nazis and thus making France responsible for all that occurred in WW2, it's stupid. Yes their actions led to the German economy being decimated but utimately it was still the Germans electing a militaristic leader and then blindly following him on a path of conquest that caused it. Anyway ISIS sprung up in Syria, a place where the US hasn't intervened. [/QUOTE]
