You can’t bomb a country, fracture its society, and then act surprised when the same failed leaders keep resurfacing. Maliki’s comeback isn’t a twist—it’s the logical outcome of a system built on crisis and sustained by it.

Trump in the Middle East, NATO his whole foreign policy is like having a bull in a China shop. This

isn't mentioning his nazi style domestic policy.

I'm so glad we destroyed the threat of the "mushroom cloud" per Bush W. I always think of the quote from Madeleine Albright. An excellent example of US policy towards the world.

Correspondent Lesley Stahl discussed with the then-United Nations ambassador how Iraq had been suffering from the sanctions placed on the country following 1991's Gulf War.

"We have heard that half a million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima," Stahl said. "And, you know, is the price worth it?"

"I think that is a very hard choice," Albright answered, "but the price, we think, the price is worth it."

In the run-up to the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003, Harold Pinter wrote a poem called “Democracy”: There’s no escape. The big pricks are out. They’ll fu*k everything in sight.

Watch your back. (British playwright, poet, and activist who later received the Nobel Prize for

literature). You can see his acceptance speech on YouTube. There were big marches against that war in US but somehow I hear that people were for that war now.

Nabil Salih: can't say I'm enambered with your writting style but othewise great read.

From Libya, to Lebannon, Syria, Turkey, Iran, hell the whole freaking West Asia...what a chaotic mess. Tribes fighiting tribes; leaders within tribes fighting amongst themselves. Can you blame any rational family caring parent wanting to get th hell out and join the dysporia to anywhere but here. I guess the Ziionists are wet dreaming "Greater Isreal espansion" as the migrants get out of Dodge. But even Israel is having problems keeping their aparthied zionist psycotic tribe from getting out of Dodge. If Iran can stay strong this current dynamic could all change in favor of the Arabs/Persian states. It's a long short of David verses Golieth. But if TACO Trump pulls out and exposes Isreal to its surround ALONE and if the Arabs and Pursians hold strong together in this one cause....greater Isreal could go the way of the doo doo bird. (or change its current evil ways, fat chance that hapening). This may sound like an impossible outcome but it is a scenario that could play out....one of many. I'm hopeful. The Phenix will rise from the ashes and rebirth anew.
