I think much of this was lost on the audience, but this is brilliant.

Jon Stewart talks about U.S. intervention in the Middle East over the past 3 decades and our absurd policies where we provide billions of money, arms, and military training to people who later become our mortal enemies.  Bin Laden?  Yeah, the U.S. gave him guns and training.  Saddam?  Ditto.  It’s astounding that people don’t realize this, and it’s astounding that you only hear discussion of it on Comedy Central.
