Stone...

Oliver Stone says the United States has made a mess of the Middle East.

Stone reprised his criticism of the 2003 Iraq war and suggested the U.S. has acted similarly in Libya and Syria, saying: “We had no permission to invade Iraq from the U.N., we did it, and we continue to do this.”
Stone also said you can't make a film critical of US forien policiy.

What wasn't said is the outcome. We invade a country, supported one fraction over another, led  humanity deteriorates to levels not seen in the history. Gus who is ready to bare arms while the peaceful minorities were run over.

The cost to USA, Middle East and the world is un-imaginable. Sadly, some became rich as hundred of thousands were killed, and millions lived in misery.
