German anti-immigrant party beats Merkel’s party in her home state

61. I disagree

Syria weathered the Iraq thing OK. And it is their civil war causing most of the refugees.

Their problems got going after Tunisia had a successful revolution as did Egypt for a short period before the military, with our tacit approval, crushed it. The people in the gulf states tried and were repressed. Then we have Syria with a ruthless dictator. When his people went into the streets to protest, his troops start shooting them starting their civil war. That was not the fault of the US. And it cannot be said that the US supported Assad as his country has been sanctioned forever. The Russians get that particular blame.

The US has caused more than it's share of harm and misery, but it is inaccurate to lay all the problems on the Mideast at our feet.

And it helps build the narrative that the left dislikes the US since some on the left look to build their leftist credability by blaming all problems on us.

Have a nice day.
