The US overthrowing Manuel Noriega after once supporting him is hypocrisy, but Vietnam doing the same with Pol Pot is heroism?

Phoenician here, I think I've been sold a bad amulet... (Am I the donkey?)
Hi everyone, I'm a Phoenician woman from Arvad, my family belongs to the middle merchant class, we trade in cedar, so you might say I'm a wordly woman, not the easiest to be tricked, but I must confess in deep shame the events that occured in the lower markets to me this week.
I was doing my usual market routine, buying spices from the Amorite tradesmen, when this Hellenic looking man approached me and asked "Oh my dear lady, are you ok? You seem troubled, there is very negative energies around you!", and I tell you all, I am not a woman that is easily startled, I personaly tended to my brothers wounds when he fought back the Assyrian invaders, but I must say, those words shook me to my core, because you see, I had been feeling the presence of evil around me as of late, then he proceeds to ask me: "Are you protecting yourself against the Rabisus? Please my dear lady, you must!", at that moment I replied to him "Oh no, the Rabisus? My dear cousin was killed by one such foul vampire! He drank profuse ammounts of wine and went to the peer, and we never saw him again, and Rabisus were told to be prowling the area in that night!".
He looked at me with what I thought at the time was genuine compassion and understanding, and told me "Lady, I have here a precious amulet of protective magics against such creatures, you must buy one from me, I beg you Lady!". And now I must tell you all, I'm not one to splurge the families wealth without care, times are tough, but even when this man told me this amulet was 20 silver shekels, my entire spending money for this season, I stiill didn't think twice, I gave him my entire coin purse as he grined. Then as he handed me the amulet and a papyrus, he tells me "My incantations correspond to the scroll.", and proceeds to vanish into another street.
I must come clean with the shame this has brought me, dear compatriates, I tell you I read the scroll with the utmost precision, invoking Assur to channel his power, to Baal to protect my abode, and for Hauron's wife to seal the deal. Here I was, thinking I had the protective magics of the Gods with me, so I left my home relaxed, off to do more chores. It is at this moment that I slip on some mud, as if pulled by the winds of Lilitu, and shatter my entire left arm, my good trading arm. As I lay crying in pain, my brother comes yelling that the house was on fire. Apparently Baal did not protect my home from the fireplace I left burning in the house. My brother blames me still for all of this, because to him, he believes I am wrong, that I invoked Assur, when I should have envoked Asherah, but I still disagree, I read the scroll perfectly, that must have been a Hellenic of dubious caracther, and sold me an amulet with non functional magics, but my brother insists, so I decided to ask you all, am I the donkey?
PS: My brother now tells me I carry my families curse with me, as we tell a story that many many generations ago, another dubious looking fellow destroyed my entire ancestors house financially, by selling them some low quality copper. It took us many eras to recover and become the respectable familily we are today once more. I think my brother has been reading too many clay tablets, and they are rotting his mind.

TFW you just wanted independence, but you’re actually a strategic asset.
