Some Guy, your video quoted above might need to be corrected. It says an error occured.
Meanwhile, yes, I don't think people everywhere are that different. As the Rascals said in 1968, "people everywhere just want to be free." The "train of freedom" has encountered some derailments since then, but I'd say the world is more free than it was in 1968. Syrians may be Muslims and have some different values than liberal 60s kids in the USA, but fundamental rights and freedoms are not that hard to understand. The Arab Spring young rebels in Tahrir Square understood them just fine, and so did the Syrians against a dictator who refused to help them in the midst of a crippling, climate-change-caused drought. (thus, we Americans really caused their problems, but we refused to help them).
And there's no doubt that the Iraq War of 2003 never had to happen. The facts are that it was a war of choice whose purpose was to overthrow a regime that was no threat to the USA or its allies. Those who continue to believe George W Bush's lies are living in a fantasy.
