Reply To: Political Statements
you're right, i forgot to include cultural imperialism in my analysis. however, from what i know of the history of the region, i'm not willing to accept that we have no historical culpability in the current political situation there. for the last two hundred years, at least, some combination of foreign powers have been manipulating politics in that region to their own personal benefit, and while, prior to ww1, it was mostly britain, russia, and france, i have to feel like we probably are pretty well into it by this point.
