The anti-science/anti-free speech left

I've been working with a software developer in Turkey. Right now he is very, very frightened. He's not even comfortable sending innocent emails as he is afraid they will be intercepted and somehow used against him. He is asking me "What is Obama doing" and I honestly don't know what to tell him.

 

USA and Obama are doing the usual as it has been done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria and Ukraine. Make policies that are illogical and stupid, engage in regime change, work with the worst elements of the societies, cause civil war and when people start dying or becoming refuges in hundreds of thousands then stand around, look like a fool and say they didn´t know this is going to happen.
