The Iraq disinegration

The British drew lines on a map. But they never ruled the people. Now we see Iraq going tribal. This is a  change 200 years in the making. Let it happen, let the crazy rule, it will all turn out alright. BTW the force behind everything from Syria to Ukraine is Saudi, why are they not on the global carpet?

What we are seeing today is how well Orwell understood the world yesterday. We have always been at war with Oceania. Religion exists to manipulate the masses. This is not always a bad thing. For example in ancient times many died from eating shellfish and pork due to the bacteria that quickly form. So Religion was used as a public health mandate. However too often it is used as the way to divide and conquer, then rule with absolution. The Saudis our "friends" are Sunni. The Iranians our enemy are Shia. But guess which branch is the secular and which is the Orthodox. The west has far more in common with the Shia. Thinkaboot that!
