I'm getting down voted because American children have embraced the idea that all problems are caused by the US

it's the height of arrogance ... the idea Americans have perfected oppression

Hey look, one of those angry children i spoke of

Listen kid, there's been no peace in the ME since before I was born and I'm old.

There are too many powerful people with money who benefit from this turmoil for it ever to be allowed to stop.

They've managed to reframe it as a religious conflict and told the believers rewards await them in heaven for destroying the evil other side.

You tempt the rich with money and the poor with a party in the afterlife and you've got never ending war
