Support of minority grievances in countries targeted by Western governments is a Trojan horse ploy popularly supported by pious ignorance and delusions of moral superiority. It was infamously used in Iraq to save people from the depredations of Saddam Hussein - by killing a million of them - men, women, children, the elderly, disabled. Hussein had installed excellent education and public health programs, all free. He had been brought up by a single mother, had respect and empathy for women. He used poison gas against the Kurds, provided for the purpose by the West. He did regrettably kill as well, all the communists. But since when is that considered a crime in the West? I could mention dozens of far worse Western leaders whose terrible crimes are entirely forgotten by Wednesday. They wear, like high priests it would seem, invisible, sin-dissolving vestments.
