Arming rebels

[Ronin13]

Not saying we should never get involved- there's a time and place where our involvement is needed and justified (Rwanda anyone?), but we don't need to be the world police, and we don't need to get our fingers in everything. I guess we never learned our lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Syria... How long until we're fighting the very same guys we armed/trained, like so many times before?

Im going to agree with you there, it seems nowadays we've been replacing oppressive regimes with other, more hostile oppressive regimes.

...that we have made more dangerous by arming with our advanced weaponry that we then end up fighting.
