You miss the point. Imagine two people are brawling. You step in the middle of the brawl and get hit. You can blame the guy that hit you, but you can't act shocked at the results of choosing to be in the middle of a fight.
It's not in the best interest of the US to have a democratic ally in a sea of facist, religiously insane nation-states.
How has it served our interest? It has cost us billions of dollars, thousands of American lives to date. Tell me, what is the interest we've paid for with all this money and blood?
My apologies, Osama. Just keep your head buried in the sand. Everything will be OK.
Just name call and fer chrissakes don't question anything that's happening. Just stick your head up your ass and dream about 'payback' for all our dead - not that they get to cash in on it. Everything will be OK once we trade in neutrality, peace and freedom for allies, war and police state. Once they get a wall in place on our border, and a policeman checking our papers at every corner, then we'll be safe. Almost as safe as the people wise enough not to involve themselves in this mess...
