It's America's fault

What's America's fault?  Well, just about anything these days.  So the Patriarch of Antioch of the Syriacs is saying that the violence in Syria, and the slaughter we see on our televisions, is - you guessed it - because of America, as well as Europe, and also the Gulf States.  Who knows?  Maybe it is.  I don't know.  I don't reckon myself an expert in Syrian foreign relations.  I just notice the ease with which just about anyone can blame the US for almost anything today (and in some parts of the world, Europe gets lumped in as well).  I'm reminded that, while America more or less is willing to admit America sucks and it's all our fault, most of the rest of the world is willing to chime in with the same viewpoint.  Catholics around the world, being products of their own cultural heritage, are no doubt willing to chime in as well.  For that matter, Catholics in America make some of the loudest clanging when it comes to criticizing the US.  Nothing much to comment on.  Just an interesting look on how easy it is for other countries to blame other countries, while in the US, the only segment left that dares suggest other countries could be the blame is the gradually shrinking American Right.
