&quot;Just because something isn&#x27;t necessary doesn&#x27;t mean we shouldn&#x27;t do it.&quot;<p>So you&#x27;re saying we <i>should</i> have committed mass murder and armed terror groups throughout the Middle East in the name of stealing resources or manipulating politics? Did you do any research to back this or are you writing up some far-fetched, sophist comment since you can&#x27;t counter my points?<p>&quot;And I really don&#x27;t see how people committing acts of terrorism are making good decisions that we should support by giving them what they want for doing so.&quot;<p>Last I checked, the U.S. was still trying to screw with and control much of the Middle East instead of support them. The regions where we have the most meddling are among the least stable. Doing good over there instead of evil might actually accomplish something. Further, areas with groups like ISIS aren&#x27;t terrorism vs Some Good Government rather than a group of competing evil groups all set on controlling and oppressing the area. So, fighting one isn&#x27;t fighting terrorism so much as fighting one group while putting another into power.<p>You won&#x27;t see the U.S. truly fight oppression over there because it&#x27;s not in power-players financial and political interests. There&#x27;s benefits to be had from continued partnerships with dictators and theocracies. Just ask Saudi Arabia.
