Now this is when international politics can make you crazy!! When the US, UK and their allies decided to invade Iraq in 2003, it seems they didn’t care about the future of Iraq. This was the same year when an organization called At-Tauhīd wa-l-Dschihād was formed by one Abu Musab az-Zarqawi, a member al-Qaida member in Iraq. This organization has been changing names several times, and in 2013, when it expanded to Syria, it adopted the name Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) (also known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)). At this time, the relationship between US and allies on one hand, and countries like Iran and Syria on the other hand, were tense. Recently ISIS has been on the rise in Iraq, and I never believed it when I read that Iran could “work together” with the US against ISIS. Now even more interesting is the news from BBC that “Iraqi PM, Nouri Al-Malik, welcomes Syrian air strikes on ISIS. And for some reasons it is only now that US appears to keep pressure on Iraqui Premier to have an “inclusive government” – The way I see it, the US is “indirectly” faulting Mariki for the political crisis in Iraq…. It seems all efforts are now on Ukraine... but even there, the songs of sanctions against the Bear are not as loud as they used to be weeks ago. By the way, a solution to the Syrian crisis (and now ISIS joins in) means that the west and Russia have to work together. Am I dreaming? TIME WILL TELL
