You may be right. But it does seem to me that our presence is the
reason it's so bad. Then again, my argument for this is, "I saw a documentary or something." I generally don't discuss the war because it's such a difficult thing to understand from a distance, but it does appear--at least up to a few years ago--that we were not holding the nation together so much as just pissing off one side even more.
I'm very open regarding this, though, because again, my opinion on it is not based on much. Misinformation is a bitch, and I hardly trust my sources.
