However we are where we are and we were where were in 2003. Bush and Blair liberated the Shia and the Kurds from the oppression of Saddam;s regime, from three quarters of century of Sunny Arab tyranny and in the case of the Shia hundreds of years of Sunni oppressor rule. The liberation of 2003 allowed the Shia Arabs of the south and centre of Iraq, where most of the population lives to start developing an independent sovereign nation state. That won't all happen in a day, but there could be no progress while Saddam and his clan remained in charge.
The Cultural Marxist is filled with a demented hatred. When he sees a Sunni Arab Muslim going into a Shia market place and blowing up Shia women and chldren, he immediately blames western infidels. The West didn't divide Muslims, they been divided since the start. Mohammad was barely cold in his grave before his companions started slaughtering each other.
Rich, do you see human beings in the Muslims? Yes or no?
Europe is very much the culture of the knife or the culture of war. How many wars has Europe seen Señor Rich? How many Englishmen have died in wars with France and Spain and Germany? And others? Especially those little pesky troubles in Northern Ireland and Michael Collins and his ilk.
Lol.
I see humans. Not those freaky barbarians taking over the land of Iraq and Mohammed, and etc. the ones who are so different than the English that they are on another universe. We the civilized and they the barbaric.
What is civilized about crucifying people for example? The Romans did it. And I find the English obsessed with Roman culture. i can literally understand an Italian when they are talking. And I do not speak Italian. Simply because Spanish is very much a related language and the Roman Catholic tradition in Spain is almost as strong as the cultural influence from Italy and the Vatican.
Yet England has very different roots culturally and linguistically from Rome. Yet you always as a culture love to think of yourselves as legacy inheritors of the Romans or the Mediterraneans. You are in certain ways but culturally you sure are not. At all.
I have never been to Europe Rich. Not even once. @Potemkin, has tried to convince me to go for a visit eh? Lol. I think he likes warm beaches more than cold ass water from those Scottish beaches eh?
What I do know Rich is that using the excuse of what has happened in other lands and cultures before the English interventions for monetary or geopolitical gain as an excuse to destabilize a nation in order to take resources that are needed by the English government or business capitalist investors is a very poor excuse to commit violence and hold up as an example for the world to follow over the long run.
All true things start with being truthful with your own self, then your own city and communities and your own culture and your own nation. And failing to deal with the lacks in your own society in order to only serve the interests of a bloated elite who do not need more corrupt-based power is not really doing much for English society in the long run.
That is just me. The humanist international socialist who happens to be Puerto Rican on a UK-based international politics website owned by a Greek man. Lol.
I do not have first hand experience of English people en masse. I have met them over the years here or there. Some from the ruling class, some from the middle class and none from the working class. So I ask Potemkin about it. He tells me some things.
He has always treated me like an equal. A great quality to have.
The right leaning British ones never have on this website. That tells you something eh? It tells me a lot.
