Honey, I Created a Jihad

If you’re interested in how a century of British and American (and generally Western) involvement in the Middle East led to the mess there we now face see Barry Lando’s excellent book Web of Deceit (and ses also his blog: http://barrylando.com). No Hitch and Sullivan, it’s not “islamofascism”; rather, it’s about oil and colonial history and the CIA. The West could not have more meticulously created today’s predicament if that were its primary goal. (Lots of interesting and surprising facts, including employment of a young and murderous Saddam Hussein by the CIA, Kissinger’s well-documented indifference to mass casualties, France’s promiscuous arms industry, and the list goes on).
