The majority of our problems are coming from the Middle East and that will never change will it?
No denying that. For the reasons mentioned in previous posts though! To add, the Middle East is a prime location for import/export across continents and thus, those that have control of the area have control of what comes through and what can be financially gained through this. So it's not just about oil. Iran has been invaded by the US on four separate occasions (including introducing a 'democracy' via the Shah regime), and yet they regard Iran as one of the 'axis of evil', even though Iran has never directly attacked a Western nation in modern times.
Remember when we invaded Iraq for the second time, that was apparently to infiltrate their weapons of mass destruction, you know, the ones that were never found. This after both the our government and the American government initially supporting and providing arms to Saddam's regime when he came into power.
I'll try and dig it out when I'm not at work, there are pictures doing the rounds of John Kerry decorating ISIS soldiers with ceremonial US awards, the very same soldiers that are now apparently our enemies. I abhor the fact our troops are being sent into a battle that is firstly not ours to fight, and secondly one which our/their governments have somewhat created.
However Roy, I agree with you on one thing, as Alfred said in Batman, there are just some ***** in the world that want to watch it burn. Usually in the name of some sort of 'higher power' or religion. Not exclusive to Muslims, but they are at the forefront at this point in history.
