Agreed. There are many leaders at fault for the current situation (and some of them are not American). What about the British and French leaders who turned their backs on the Arabs at the end of World War I and sliced up the Middle East for their own territories instead of granting them independence as they originally promised?

Woah....did I just take this topic into a different area. Sorry folks.
