Did you mean the Mujahideen rather than Taliban? Well yes, if you're going back to the Mujahideen again, though that's not quite what smoke said which was "Askari-styled force recruited, financed, armed (directly and indirectly by the west and its middle-eastern allies) to deliver regime change in Iran". IIRC, the US funded the Mujahideen to deliver regime change in Afghanistan, rather than Iran, and I'm more than happy to wait for more details of the west supporting the folks behind ISIL (or AQI or whatever Abu Musab al-Zarqawi called his terrorist organization before it was AQI; wikipedia suggests this was the JTJ, which is not found in britannica, though there are other references to it, e.g. stanford.edu). I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Apologies, gents, for the delay. My youngest sibling has been taken seriously ill with MenB. In consequence, my presence here will prove sporadic. In the interim, I will post the small progress made (prior to her illness) and the little I have added to it since. From a certain point of view, one can make a strong case in saying the USA made ISIL... From a certain point of view... For hands as grubby, if not more so, Major Kong, we need to look a little further back than that, Sir - although even this is not far enough. The following (intended merely as an outline - for which I will endeavour to provide specific links for at a later date) might be:
(A read from a perspective we rarely confront ourselves with.) Secondly: Why Britain knew the policy "worked" ie: How we turned an uprising against our presence in India into a war between faiths, to strengthen our grip on the subcontinent, and deepen divisions. It left behind a nation so paranoid of its neighbours it was ripe for successive military coups, and US support of them – gaining the latter, access to Pakistan's border with Iran (initially) and more recently, to their border with Afghanistan. The Balfour agreement (mentioned earlier in this thread as I recall) was discussed at length in another thread. Having read that, there seems little point revisiting it here, but it explains a PM I received earlier this week :-)
by the 1979 revolution, his increasingly independent policies resulted in his effective abandonment by his American allies, hastening his downfall. The bold text is my insertion. Keep it mind when reading the following link: The strongest propaganda is constructed upon truth I will leave to individual discretion, how much could be deemed subjective and/or propaganda - but the book it refers to is one that was recommended to me by a young man I shared part of my education with. Our views on the role Britain played internationally, were initially vehemently opposed. It was an uncomfortable first lesson for me. The link I have provided here, whatever its shortcomings, is a fair representation of the compelling and well-researched case that was put forward by Engdahl. But for the moment, I will have to leave it there. Once again, my apologies. |

I'm not sure that ISIL is wise...implementing terror attacks on 3 nuclear power forces & now it's 4th...do they think it's just OK to provoke those forces?! ;) non-profit org. Play4Life in Zagreb, Croatia, EU |
