US has meddled all over the world creating big messes - from Panama to Afghanistan. No one doubts this. But the big problem is why do all these power vacuums in these middle eastern countries get filled quickly by so many religious extremists - taliban, ISIS, younameit - out to bring violent kinds of shariah and fearlessly mounting campaigns to turn back the social clock by centuries. the main problem here isn’t the US. it is endemic. US didn’t invent the shia sunni feuds in Iraq despite what people like psyah and lal topi will tell you. Nor is having a tyrant like Saddam (himself an US ally gone rogue) in place for stability a real peaceful solution.

I agree with you as for as the religious extremism goes, but lot of that came out as result of British colonial occupation of the ME. The 2 extremist religious ideologies that dominate ME are safalists and wahabis…they are linked to politics of the region. Majority of the ME kings are British appointed families (eg Al Saud family) & to appease religious crazies they joined likes of al-Wahhab (who was mullah Omer of his time) to spread hateful ideology all over the world using petrodollars. The US also helped in that when they were supporting same people in 80s as freedom fighters. So, you cannot say the west has nothing to do with what is happening to the ME. Btw, did you know those who directly attacked the US on 19/11…15 were Saudis not Iraqis. If there was country that deserved to be bombed after 911 it was Saudi Arabia, but the US did not bomb them. Why?
