You are either stupid or simply a liar. Killing Muslims has nothing to do with whom is supported by the current administration.

The history we tend to like, barring bias, is the history of peoples who’ve thrown off some sort of oppressive control from social authority. Unfortunately in modern times some people have become convinced there is only a forced choice to be made between one or another oppressor. Where the goals and operations or results of American involvement have been toward greater liberty, we’ve all tended to embrace the goodness of that strand of history. At the same time actions which free people from an oppressive authority tend to tick off tyrannical brutes. It is basic psychology to expect an escalation of aggression at least initially when you stop, or threaten to stop, the oppression which freakish bullies and tyrants wield over others. When you convince them their reign is over, most accept it and cultures can begin to heal. Attempts to appease every politically correct interest have confused this basic principle, to the extent that now we see organizations using politically correct ideas to bully others. It’s no wonder Obama is being forced to play both sides against the middle. I’m sure he’d rather be golfing. It's no wonder people who have geopolitical-religious bias are having trouble naming good guys.
