Well, there is a lot of factual information in there and some unfounded but understandable opinion too. Like I said earlier, the US has a knack for picking and backing "winners". On the other hand, what are you going to do? Look at the chaotic situationas a whole. Look at what we had to choose from. The best scenario from our prospective would be to have a democratically chosen leader who could work with all the interested factions. Instead we got a "megalomaniac" who was unpredictable. There was and are a lot of jokers in the deck. You play the hand dealt to you the best you can.
