James TroryAgreed in full. It's a bit like the Star Trek Prime directive, you don't go around putting technology and ideas into the heads of people who aren't ready for it, or it will always bite you in the ass. Perhaps it is the lessons of this century that will lead to such policies in the future. But that also includes keeping hands off entirely, even what we think is "aid". Remember Somalia...
We've secretly replaced the Pacific Ocean with Folgers crystals. Let's see if Cryofax notices:CryofaxJames Trory

Hiroshima. Nagasaki. And you don't know that a government has knowingly sponsored this.
Palestian.
And don't forget American trains and supplies terrorists all the time, except of course, they are called rebels, and are the "good guys". Except when they turn on you then you play "peacekeeper"
And what does all this have to do with the current situation? We should simply ignore the attack because by gosh we've sponsored some "terrorists" ourselves? Its what we deserve! Which terrorist did we sponsor that killed 20,000 civilians in one day?
I think his point is that nobody should be so surprised that this happened in the first place. America in not invinsible like it thinks, and what do you expect to happen if you go around the middle east and africa arming exceptionally uneducated, poor folk with guns and missles? The situations all across Africa are thanks to America and Britain and Russia training the people to fire weapons, and then that's all they know how to do. It's no wonder the eco system over there is shot to all hell. They're not fighting for anything, they're fighting because they can. And eventually these people will turn on us. They're all slowly biting the hand that feeds them.
We can definately learn lessons (expensive ones) from these policies, but unfortunately we can't change the past, and have to deal with what is before us now. But you know, I don't really have faith that our government has learned these lessons at all...
