we don't TRY to fuck up their economies. Before we were in the middle east the economies were pretty shitty. Some are pretty amazing too, look at Saudi Arabia. Many wealthy people live there, and their oil prices dominate the rest of the world, partly because a lot of oil is there...
Don't start a government debate man. The USA is the most powerful country in the world, and some middle eastern countries hate us for it. This is partly because they envy us, or that our entire country are "infidels." I give them the right to believe that...but if we were in fact all going to burn in hell, shouldn't they practice what they preach and let us suffer in the afterlife rather than commit murder, the worst sin of all?
All the hypocrisy in the world was shown in that one action. And it was definitely not the USA's fault.
