You denigrate his reasons, How so? Of course we see it that way. I wonder how Iraqis feel about the total destruction of their country by us? Justified or not? Libyans? Syrians? Afghans? Yemenis? I don't wonder how they feel because I know Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, Afghans, and Yemenis. I once knew and called Anwar Al-Awlaki my friend. I met him when he was a 19 year old college student and knew him for years after that. I did not know him when he began preaching radicalism. I also know they don't carry the view you are attempting to impose on them 'Their conflict and destructiveness is all the result of American involvement'. If you are suggesting there would be no destruction without American involvement you are over simplifying the circumstance. Iraqis are destroying Iraqis and Iraq, Libyans are destroying Libyans and Libya, Syrians are destroying Syrians and Syria, Afghans are destroying Afghans and Afghan, Yemenis are destroying Yemenis and Yemen. They have real and spoken feelings about all that, which are easy to discern. They have varied and diverse feelings about whether or not American involvement is beneficial. That is within borders, when you look at cross border conflict it is increasing as well. If you want America and other global interlopers to step out so they can all fight it out, then you have to also accept the outcomes which are predictably the rise of new brutal and heinous dictatorships, or the stepping in of a superpower wannabee like Russia. Is isolationism something you want to champion at a time of globalization? Madeline Albright paraphrased: "Starving 500,000 Iraqi children to death was worth it." Yes. I protested that comment at the time because a policy of stepping out and applying sanctions by the UN/US was falsely labeled a diplomatic solution. But Madeline Alstupid exposed the real agenda, which was to target innocents rather than the known enemy, nothing less than sinful IMO.
