Someone mentioned *how the Brit's and US have influenced the middle eastern nations for a great deal of time which might have increased the chaos*- To paraphrase...


-True we've had an influence but so has China, India, Soviet Union, France, Germany just to name a few more. You can argue who has the greatest influence but even then, the countries I listed have all played huge/enormous roles at very key times in history.

The larger image everyone should note is the fact this region began a war against it's *like minded people* thousands of years ago and that war has never paused for 1 single day without them killing each other. Most factions will pause, but not all of them when a true *outsider* like Soviet's or USA shows up and temporarilly ban together to fight the evil infidel...... As soon as they leave all factions begin killing each other once again as if nothing ever changed...

Only a person willing to learn their history of killing and the reasons behind it will come to the logical conclusion.... Fact is, no outside influence is really going to make much difference in the long term until these factions leaders change their indoctrination of genocide against each other and the rest of the world.
