Baloney with extra mayo. Tell me who installed Mubarak of Egypt? Was King Abdullah II of Jordan installed by the U.S.?
When did we install Hafez Assad of Syria and then later his son, the current dictator Bashar al-Assad?
Who's responsible for Ahmadinejad of Iran?
Did the U.S. install King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia?
Were we responsible for Moammar Kadafi of Libya?
Your last statement above:
"The situations where there are dictators unfriendly to the US, that's a reaction to US foreign policy. It's about survival.
So Saddam Hussein was just trying to survive by gasing tens of thousands of Kurds, women, children, whole villages? Torturing and shooting any political opponent and personally approving massacres? His war with Iran that he started that caused 1,000,000 Iraqi deaths was just a reaction to U.S. foreign policy?
What you've stated is unfactual, untrue, ignorant in the Webster's definition of the word, and in the last part...shockingly absurd.
