So, for about one hundred years now, the west has dictated to the middle East. And we are where exactly??
So...keep doing the same thing, while expecting a different result. There is a word for that. And it isn't 'intelligent'.

Well, I guess we're ......... I guess America isn't the GREATEST country in the world. Sad that the "left" believes this

I'm not sure how you come to such a conclusion based on world powers treatment of that region if the world. Seems rather simplistic to say that. With us or against us type logic?
However, I would direct you to the video someone posted a few weeks back, with jeff Daniels talking about that very subject.
This place has its good points, but there is certainly room for improvement.

"They (Conservatives) don't get it. We (Liberals) love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America the way a four-year-old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a four-year-old everything mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes mommy is bad. Grown-up love means understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world. That's why we liberals want America to do the right thing. We know American is the hope of the world, and we love it and want it to do well." - Al Franken

now....i may not be as smart as ol donald...but would it not be better to have them stay open, so one can see who goes there? how would it be better to close them, and have those people go goodness knows where to meet, etc? wouldn't that make radicalized muslims harder to keep track of?

Hardly surprising that Seumas Milne would be the source for the OP-ED referenced above. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's new "Executive Director of Strategy and Communications" has never let facts get in the way of his political beliefs. He is a communist, Marxist, Stalinist sympathizer. And he has never met an anti-capitalist he couldn’t love.

“For all its brutalities and failures, communism in the Soviet Union, eastern Europe and elsewhere delivered rapid industrialisation, mass education, job security and huge advances in social and gender equality. It encompassed genuine idealism and commitment, captured even by critical films and books of the post-Stalin era such as Wajda's Man of Marble and Rybakov's Children of the Arbat. Its existence helped to drive up welfare standards in the west, boosted the anticolonial movement and provided a powerful counterweight to western global domination.”

And of its victims: You have to break a few million eggs to make an omelet, right?

He lamented the conviction in British court of Anis Abid Sardar who built IEDs in Iraq. He blames the west for the murder of Boris Nemtsov in Russia, taking his cues straight from Putin. He justified Russia's involvement in Ukraine. That’s just this year. Go back and read/listen to more of his previous work, and you’ll get where he is coming from, and why he is useful to American apologists.
