[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] ISIS trained by US reports Examiner, PressTV, Reuters, Der Spiegel

Sat Jul 12 16:07:03 EDT 2014

An Iraqi friend of mine several years ago told me that there were few if 
any real problems between Sunni and Shiaa until after the U.S. invasion 
in 2003.
It is NOT " America's fault ". The PEOPLE of the U.S. didn't cause the 
current problems in the Middle East, but the ruling elite 1 % of the 
U.S. and the U.K. most certainly did.
With the British ( and other Colonial Imperialist European powers in the 
past ) it goes back even before World War II and Churchhill was fond of 
the use of " divide and conquer " in order to control invaded and 
occupied countries to exploit and rob the natural resources of countries 
as well as their cheap labor in order to enrich the 1 %.
Same game different players.
WE the PEOPLE must put an end to this.
