You&#x27;re certainly joking, or trolling too hard. This is YC and not tumblr after all where the answer to any and all problems is &quot;white males&quot;.<p>However, the situation in the middle east was quantitatively and qualitatively better when it had Saddam, Qaddafi et all. The region had ethnic and religious tensions for most of its existance, the difference is - before the war in Iraq, Afganistan, Lybia and now Syria, there was a defined pecking order. The biggest asshole had already went through all of the atrocities he had to to become what he is. After US came in, and sprinkled dollars and guns to every antigovernment faction - we now have 20 assholes in every country that vie for the title of the biggest asshole, and they&#x27;re ready to do whatever it takes. All I&#x27;m saying is - take some responsibility for that. Germany and Europe as a whole isn&#x27;t responsible for upsetting the order that lead to this humanitarian problem. US military adventures did.
