I apologize f or today I will be pressing  several articles bout the history and the causes of the situation in Iraq…..I regret that I have no original insights for today….I am deep in research and need  a day to compile so of the info I have gleamed…..please read and i do hope that it extends your knowledge of the situation…….

Today I will give my readers a little history lesson…..there is a gap in Americans knowledge of what is happening and has happened in the Middle East….if you want to understand what is going on in Iraq then a refresher course would be advised……..

I know….what a bummer having to learn something this early in the week…….try it you may like it.

Present day Middle East is an arbitrarily drawn borders by Anglo at the end of WW1……the Allies cut up the old Ottoman Empire……only concerns were colonization and economic….there was NO consideration of old animosities or loyalties…..Because of this randomness the Middle East is dying as we know it today……..

I wrote about this situation earlier….in case my reader would like to check out what I wrote……..http://lobotero.com/2014/04/14/are-we-still-paying-for-sykes-picot/

Now others are seeing what I saw……..
