34. Except that it is an oversimplification that is probably untrue.

It's not an excellent post...it's the kind of drivel that passes for intelligent posting if nobody challenges it.

Blaming the US for Daesh is like blaming matches for the flammability of gasoline. While we certainly didn't help matters in failing to have a viable exit strategy, the militaristic religious conservatism that underpins Daesh existed long before the US was a country and erupts from time-to-time without our help. This is the result of circumstances on the ground, not US intervention.

This uprising was coming whether we got involved or not...your US-centrism is comical. We're just not that important...we make a good scapegoat to both Islamicists and lefty-pacifists, but that's all it is. Blame-shifting. If you want to know who is responsible for Daesh, ask yourself who benefits from their existence.
