>>377742 THERE ARE REFORMERS. There are people in the middle east who have an interest in their countries not being so fucked up. Most of these are normal people, it just so happens that we pick the opposite of whoever's in charge, usually because whoever's in charge does not want America to help them because American help is fucking awful. Yes, we do go against some awful regimes. The reason those awful regimes were in power in the first place is because they actually kind of made the country run, and the guys we grab to place in power are the equivalent of taking redneck whackjobs out of the woods and dropping them in a seat of power.
Betcha Chile doesn't really give a fuck about our help either. They'll take our money, sure, but they don't want us in the fucking country, doing our usual bang-up job. This isn't just about giving help where it's needed; this is about our whole attitude about "help", at home and abroad. We're leaving all the countries we went to arguably just as shitty and possibly more fucked up. And in 20 or so years, I'm sure we will all have the chance to be re-shocked when another wonderful offspring of this abusive fucking relationship blows something up in another extravagant and pointless waste of human life.
