This whole mess over there, we asked for it. "We" meaning either or direct involvement or the involvement of our 'friends' with our support, or at best silent approval.
Of course this didn't start recently, the fire was set long long ago, quietly, subtly, without a majority of us even knowing what was happening , even if we would have cared. Another place far away, out of sight, out of mind. But the flames were really fanned back in the late 1800's. British colonialism (for lack of a better word), then deals with the rich and influential, then betraying the Arab people, then the formation of a State that doesn't belong there, then the coup to steal Iran's oil and then and then and then, it goes on and on and on. We've been poking and prodding and pushing and lying and invading and stealing for a long, longggggggg time and WE created angry people, resentful people, and we opened the door to the angry leaders and those we call fanatics and radicals.
So here's the question, when are we going to take responsibility for our actions past and present? When are we going to grow a conscience for what we have done and what we have created? Until we do, more people will cry, more families will feel loss, more hate will be created and those in power and those who serve wars will become even more wealthy at everyone else's expense.
