Normally Bill Maher is a bigoted idiot who fancies himself as an
educated liberal. He has a history of bashing Islam for having inspired
the radicals and extremists, while often conveniently forgetting that
Western aggressions have paved the way and tilled the soil for those perpetrating completely un-Islamic reactions.
Except this one time. For once he connected the dots and (somewhat) admitted that a source of so much misery around the world is Western meddling in extremely unstable parts of the world.
Let's hope and pray that others too come to their senses and instead of digging a deeper hole and channeling their inner Rambo*, realize that less is more.
*Speaking of whom, I think it should be mandatory viewing for everyone to watch the Rambo episode when he aids the Afghani Mujahideen. That just about sums up the complete confusion upon which American foreign policy is based. The West has no clue who to support when it comes to these lands of a thousand tribes, such as Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan.
