Failed states

Those people who complain about the US attacks on their failed states in the middle east such as Iraq, Afghanistan, ... etc should get their shit together if they don't want their failed states to be invaded.

Any idea how to start getting that shit toghether as you suggest :) ?

I am under the impression that each time a failed states is in the process of recouping to stop becoming a failed state, the US intervenes to prevent the act of getting their shit toghether . Excuse my language.
But yes your idea I agree is 100 % correct Winston.

Dear Highlander: You're suggesting if US ceases to exist tomorrow, the greater ME is going to turn into a peace-loving, just, egalitarian environment with unsurpassed economic and soical prosperity for each and every member of Ummah?

Why on earth would you be under that impression? There are a number of cases where the US chose to back a pro-American dictator in order to oppose a dictator who was a rabid enemy of the US... but I can't think of many examples where the US backed a dictator when there was a better option. Unfortunately, Iran back in the 1950s may be one of those few cases where the US did the wrong thing. But I cannot think of many others, and I'm a pretty good student of US history.

Maybe if countries in western Europe and North America stopped taking in people from the Middle East they'd fix the problems in their countries before they spilt over into ours.
