Quote: the G-man said: And how did the Middle East get so screwed up in the first place?
oh, gee, I dunno....ya think maybe several hundred years of British Imperialism !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
If you're going to try to claim moral superiority over that, approving of Bush's activities over there doesn't really give you a leg to stand on, does it? Besides which, if you want to see a real mess resulting from British Imperealism, take a look at India and Pakistan. We left the Middle East in comparatively decent shape.
