> but you can't deny that the west has played a massive role in creating chaos in almost every part of the globe Indeed that is the case, but as dvfjsdhgfv point out, "the West has played a massive role in everything". > that the west exacerbates/manipulates these animosities to create a situation of chaos they can benefit from I think it would be more accurate to say rulers everywhere have often pitted groups against each other. I don't think rulers generally want chaos -- order is more stable and profitable. > Syria for example, even though It probably wasn't the best place on earth, as perfectly fine before the US and NATO decided to shower them with the blessing of democracy. What happened in Syria is that encouraged by events elsewhere in the Arab world, many Syrians decided to overthrow their government. The West has only been involved on the periphery of that conflict.
