Damn, you are right. Who then did this nation fight it's first over seas war with in our early history? I need that info so I can learn.
I bet you got the riddles wrong.
In fact the West including the US has caused grievous harm not because of Islam but because of oil.
We intentionally made functional democracies impossible because of that very reason.
We've installed dictators to protect it.
We went to war with a nation that did us no harm on imagined reasons resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
I object to confabulations intended to protect our image and place all blame when a large portion of it lies at our feet and while you blame virtually all on Islam the truth is that the West is the proximal cause for what we see. Yes we put people in power who others you don't like deposed. These are the fruits of our labors, and if they are bitter we have no one to blame for planting the tree but ourselves. Don't even try to twist this saying this is a means of giving approval for terrorism. Hardly. I condemn it when they do it to us and when we terrorized them. That is the truth and if truth is not beauty that again is the fault of those responsible.
