leeneia. You are quite correct. Nothing wrong with the American people, the problem lies within government and the deep state. How many months in her history has America not been at war? The meddling started in 1846 with the Mexican War, followed by Samoa, then the annexation of Hawaii. This was followed by adventures in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Phillipines and China-all in the 19th century. Post WW2, operation meddling went on steroids, with the formation of the CIA. The present debacle in Syria In 2016, from an estimated pre-war population of 22 million, the United Nations identified 13.5 million Syrians requiring humanitarian assistance, of which more than 6 million are internally displaced within Syria, and around 5 million are refugees outside of Syria. It is also estimated 500,000 have been killed. All from an illegal war where some countries allegedly have very close ties with certain terrorist groups. This is not absolutely proven but has far more credibility than Assad allegedly gassing his ownpeople.
