Quote:We bombed the hell out of the entire country and removed what was a secular government, which created a vaccum in which Islamic States could rise to power. I read somewhere that before the US invasion, there were 0 suicide bombings in Iraq. Post invasion is complete opposite.


I think he is referring to Reagan using the CIA to assist the mujahideen in fighting Russia in the 1980s, which included Osama Bin Laden. You can see how Osama and other leaders of the Afghan rebels have broken off from the mujahideen and make up much of today's current radical islamic groups. This means that you have CIA trained radical muslims leading the way for multiple terrorist orgs. Not a good look.

Well, I thought I'd never say this but thank you Badger. That's exactly what I meant. I could not go into detail because I was on my phone. I think you can go back all through history and see that our interventionist policies have often created new enemies. We will never have peace. I used the Mexico thing because how often do you hear about Mexico being terrorized by radical Islamic jihadist? If you go looking for trouble you'll find it.
