Reply #6: Um, exactly who started what?

It's a bit like the old saw: "Treason never prospers." When you add the bit almost everone leaves off. "For if it doth prosper, none dare call it treason."

Just how many of today's terrorist organisations are former CIA (NSA, DEA, etc) assets, either gone rogue or simply abandoned to their own devices when their purposes were served or rendered otherwise irrelevant?

How many "evil leaders brought low" over recent decades rose to their seats of power with the help of the United States in the first place?

Just how much of the shit going on today, is happening because the US and US backed interests keep stiring the pot in order for companies there to achieve maximum return for minimal capital outlay? I know the US is not alone in these shenanigans, however they have been rather prominent in their actions around the world for over half a century now.
