While re-watching Apocalypse Now last night, I was reminded of something.
The US funded Adolf Hitler.
The US helped create the Viet Minh.
The US helped Mao Zedong.
The US armed Saddam Hussein.
The US created al Qaeda.
The US created ISIS.
Former President John Quincy Adams once said the USA "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy". He was right - we CREATE them, and then destroy them when they're no longer needed to do our dirty work.
