Are you American ? (nationality) if you are then it is very admirable to see your countrys mistakes. Add Al Qaeda to the list of US creations as wel. ISIS too.
Technically, NOBODY IS A REAL AMERICAN UNLESS YOU ARE APART OF A TRIBE AND YOU ARE NATIVE AMERICAN I am Iranian American but since I am Azeri I look more American than Persian and the CIA counts Azeri as "white" so I got lumped into the "White" category but I would say we are Caucasian we are not Anglo Saxon but I am 6'1 and I have light brown hair when I was a kid my hair color was dirty blond but I can see my countries faults. The reason why I joined the US Navy was not because I am a big patriot. I didn't want to pull the typical bache soosol IRANIAN AMERICAN MOVE MOMMY DADDY CAN YOU PAY FOR MY UNIVERSITY TUITION? My dad came here with 10 cents in his pocket, he got his education without anybody's help and he didn't know the language. I have an advantage I can speak English with a perfect accent. I decided I"m going to take care of college MYSELF not ask for mommy and daddy to do it.
Yes YOU GET YOUR DEGREE BUT WHERE IS THE HONOR IN THAT? I was born and raised in the USA. That is my background sorry for the long response but it is not an easy question to answer.
You are correct because of the US we have Al Qaeda in Iraq, it's called Al Qaeda in Iraq. To recap we put the Taliban in power because we wanted them to fight the Soviets(big mistake) guess who now has the power and guess who will come back when US troops leave. Iraq-WRONG COUNTRY, 19 hijackers were from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia we gave Saudi a pass. Why you ask? Politics man. It's because we get about 7% of our oil from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Let's look at George HW Bush and Noriega. Noriega was a very bad man but for a moment he had a pass from the USA because he played by the rules, well when Noriega stopped playing by the rules that was the end of that. So this is US foreign policy summed up in one sentence. Follow us, you are either with us or against us and if you are against us, you will be met with the full force of the might of the American military.

s Lord Actin once said, 'POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY." Go back through history any nation that was the top dog abused their power but EVERY EMPIRE eventually falls. It's only a matter of time it might not happen in my lifetime but America will one day fall as well. Our own demise is our arrogance. I am not some idiot American with no education. I also listen to foreign news because US media is a joke either there is a liberal bias ie CNN, NBC or a conservative bias. For my money, the most fair one is BBC and I also listen to RT as well they are pretty good and Austria has some really good news in English as well.
Sorry for the essay response but there is SO MUCH to cover on this topic.
