The United States government should be so self-evidently forthright that such an allegation is automatically laughable, but after the last 8 years of fomenting crises in the muslim world, it is difficult to dismiss the allegation out of hand. Further, the dysfunctional factions in the current administration are believably acting against the interests of the country, often in the idea of furthering personal goals or political viewpoints.
