Re: Why the Mainstream Media Really Sucks
You know, on the one hand, the US's involvement in the region has often been very bad. The conditions for ISIS's rise were significantly the result of the invasion of Iraq, etc.
On the other hand, maybe "it's bad that the US feels like it can just kill a guy responsible for, among other things, leading a campaign of rape and massacre against religious minorities" isn't the best argument to convince people that US foreign policy/military intervention has been bad?
Like I get where it's coming from, but I highly doubt it did nobody who wants a better, more progressive foreign policy any favors that there were people on the left who whined about how it's wrong to celebrate the death of anyone, even Osama bin Laden.
Personally, I was not rah-rah-rah about OBL dying and I'm certainly not about al-Baghdadi. But I really can't get worked up about mass murdering shitheads dying.
