Today, we continue to witness the same scene, with all the colonial powers able to take advantage of the crisis by selling weapons to all parties and fueling more religious and sectarian conflicts, turning the entire region into a weapons testing Lab. Is it in the interest of these peoples to devote all their resources to arming themselves to kill each other? As Pooya said, find the beneficiary and you will understand exactly what happened and what is still happening.

This argument is similar to the men who blame the devil for their sins. Each country is responsible for their own actions and decisions. If there are two countries at war among themselves, it's because they decided to do so, and not because there is a third country selling weapons to them.

To blame USA for every problems people face in their own countries just remove the focus from the root of the real issues while sounding like an envious and resentmented statement. Probably the first step for third world countries to overcome being third world countries would be to stop blaming USA for their own inability of addressing local issues and diplomatic questions.

I insist on holding Britain and America largely responsible for the catastrophic wars occurring around the world, because they are the primary and direct beneficiaries of these conflicts, in one way or another. When Britain fuels racial and ethnic conflicts, causing conflict and internal disintegration, it bears some responsibility for what is happening. Not all peoples know how to decide their own destiny, and with high rates of ignorance and low levels of education, it is easy to manipulate them and appoint corrupt rulers to ensure control. When you claim to help a blind man, then make him walk along a path with a hole in it, only to fall into that hole, should we blame the man for being blind and unable to know the road until he regains his sight, or should we blame me for deceiving him and making him walk toward that hole? We have witnessed on many occasions these colonial powers using the United Nations to decide whether to wage war, as happened with the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and how they also use their veto power to defend their allies. We have also seen what the United States does to benefit Israel, even going so far as to accuse the International Criminal Court of bias because they issued arrest warrants against Israeli entities due to the war in Gaza. Who do we blame here?

India and Pakistan are independent countries and have the legitimacy to make the appropriate decision whether to go to war or not. This is true, and I agree with you. However, there is an element missing from the picture, because those fueling these conflicts are the real beneficiaries, and they are an important part of understanding how things are going and how we got to where we are.
