Someone just answered my last question about whether America should police Islamic countries with:
"The problem has been about 500 years of non stop western meddling & racism in the Middle East."
I dont know how many times I have heard this amazing logic. Lets call it the "leftist bad karma fallacy".
The argument essentially says that based upon 500 years (America's been around half that long...nit picky of me isnt it) of "bad" (whatever that is) foreign policy, Islamist rage rightfully flows. In other words, we are have built bad Karma because, since no human lives 500 years, our bad deeds have nevertheless filled the air with bad spirtuality that later generations righteously tuned into.
First, lets assume that our foreign policy was always bad, or bad enough to outweigh the good (saving Bosinak Muslims, Kuwaities, etc), enough to deserve our fate, as the left declares. If this were all true, would this still even explain Islamic warfare today?
