I tire of the whole primary thing……it is starting to irritate me to no end…..so I will return to the Middle East where something can make sense….unlike the political crap in the US…….

For years now there have been a wealth of op-eds on just what has happened in the Middle East……I mean there was such hope when the Arab Spring was in high gear…..so many thought they saw democracy breaking out all over the place…..

They were really wrong…basically it was just settling old scores and then it went downhill from there……

So who did lose the Middle East?

Common belief says that all this violence and destruction began with the end of World War One and the implementation of the Sykes-Picot Agreement….that was when the European powers divided up the Middle East among themselves……colonialism, if you will…..

I read a really good white paper that covers this situation really well…..

The sad thing is there is NO actual solutions or even answers to just what the Hell is happening in the Middle East…..until this situation is properly analyzed there will be no proper solutions……and only an honest look without the filter of self-interests will that solution be found……
