It seems that the mistake was made by the West, it was assumed - TopicsExpress



          

It seems that the mistake was made by the West, it was assumed that the Middle East was in the 20th/21st Century when in reality it was still very much in the Middle Ages with just a veneer of modernity layered over the top. Once that veneer was stripped away it revealed the true horrors beneath. ISIS are the mirror image of the Tea Party, religious fundamentalists with guns, bad hair and a contempt for democracy. In addition to the Yazidi its Israel I feel sorry for, trying to run a modern liberal-capitalist democracy amongst the chaos that swirls around it. Jihadists go where vacuums occur, whether it be AQAP in Yemen, AQIM in Mali, ISIS in Syria/Western Iraq, AQ Prime in tribal lands, etc. This is no different.
